Hi monica,

Could you post full/real error message, because I can’t see any error message? Only libraries what Google Chrome requires.

Hi W Sanders, This guide is not for CentOS 5.7 / RHEL 5.7. For more info you can check example this comment.

Does not work right away in CentOS 5.7: You will need to build and install libcurl.so.4 and libc.so.6 to get it to work….

Thanks! I believe Chrome could help me out with the OpenDns issue. I am having trouble with mozilla lately.
Thanks again great job.

Yes it’s normal way to do this (just like every repos work), but this guide have separate versions, because some users want to use 32-bit repo on 64-bit Linux…

How about using this repo file which for both 32/64 bit:

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome – $basearch
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Hi 3D_Kid,

Your commands just import Google public key not enable repo…or maybe I understand something wrong what you meant?

By: 3D_Kid

3D_Kid — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 08:25:37 +0000

Another way to enable google repo:
wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
sudo rpm –import linux_signing_key.pub

You can verify the key installation by running:
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-7fac5991-*

Best regards.

Hi Moko,

Google Chrome is not compatible with CentOS 5 (5.7) or Red Hat (RHEL) 5 (5.7).

Only way is to build manually all those dependencies, but I can’t recommend Glibc building manually, because very likely that breaks the whole system. So the only sensible way is run virtual machine, with newer distro (example CentOS 6) or change / upgrade your system to CentOS 6.

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup –problems
package-cleanup –dupes
rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Any hints to solve this issues ?

Hi Christoph,

Could you post output of following commands:

rpm -qa google-chrome* zlib
 
ls -la /lib64/libz.so.1

Do you get any SELinux errors?

Hi Ernie,

libcurl.so.4 is not only missing package on CentOS 5.6 (5.7) / Red Hat (RHEL) 5.6 (5.7). I think that the much bigger problem is glibc 2.5 package and Google Chrome needs glibc 2.8, if you build glibc 2.8 on your system, it could break the entire system…

How can we go about getting libcurl.so.4 built on CentOS 5.6?

[...] First of all, which version of Fedora are you using? First you need to update your system (yum update) Open the command line, go to the directory where you downloaded Chrome and (as root) issue: rpm -ivh name_of_the_chrome_page.rpm Alternatively, add it to the repository: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.co…-red-hat-rhel/ [...]
