The EPEL project offers RPM packages not available in the official repos.
Check for the latest version and architecture first (this noarch package works for 32/64 bit):
rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://epel.mirror.constant.com/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
Disable the repository unless specifically enabled:
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo enabled=0
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set epel repository \ Name 'Epel - EL5' \ BaseUrl 'http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/$basearch' \ MirrorList 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearch' \ EnableGroups no \ GPGCheck yes \ GPGKey http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL \ Visible no \ status disabled signal-event yum-modify
