Hi Karthik,
Sorry, but this guide is not compatible with RHEL 5, only with RHEL 6 (6.2/6.1/6.0), like guide says. More info from this comment.
I followed the instructions for fc15 and got:
# yum install google-chrome-stable
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: (28, '')
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: google-chrome. Please verify its path and try again
I next set my http_proxy environment variable to 2 different working proxies
and got:
# yum install google-chrome-stable
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#52 - ""
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: google-chrome. Please verify its path and try again
Oops … take it all back.. I forgot to set the port_number in
http_proxy=:<port_number
Now it works!….
i.e http_proxy = \:\
can’t figure escape char (\\ didn’t work) – using ‘[‘ as delimiter:
i.e. http_proxy=[proxy]:[port_number]
Hi Irwin,
So did you get Google Chrome installed and working? :)
YUP… all seem fine now….
I had the same issue as Irwin, I found some information that said there is something funny with Google’s IP address setup, basically this will cause yum to fail about 25% of the time.
Run “yum install google-chrome-stable” a few times and it will succeed.
Thanks for the howto.

You have 32-bit Red Hat and 64-bit Google repo, so use following repo instead:

One problem might be that you do not have RHN support and Google Chrome needs some dependencies when you install it, but could you post also output of following command:
If it’s very long output then you can use example http://pastebin.com
I tried it on centos 5.5,is it supported?
Here are my information during installing.

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.
how to solove it?
Hi qutengfei,
CentOS 5 is not supported. More info from this comment.
sorry… doesn’t work at all… :(
another words I am getting 404 – file not found… it looks like google has decided to remove the file
Hi sm,
If I try to directly download http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/google-chrome-stable-18.0.1025.162-131933.x86_64.rpm it’s working so this is some network problem or Googles server download server was down.
What happens, if you try to download it directly?
Did you do a yum update first?
