    I've installed YUM 2.0.7. When I try yum install kernel-headers for example I get the following error:

    enter image description here

    What should I do for a fix?

    P.S. I've installed version 2.0.7 of YUM because I'm required to use Redhat 9 for my operating systems course.

    I did make install on the yum package downloaded from here.

    After the installation was done, if I do yum I am getting yum: Command not found.

    What should I do?

    Is it's install location in your $PATH environment variable? In your ~/.bash_profile you'll see a line like this:

    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

    add the directory of the yum binary to the end of this, separating with a colon:

    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/yum

    I don't know exactly where you installed it, so modify it according to your needs.

    Try the command whereis yum which allows you to "locate the binary, source, and manual page files for a command".

    Also, did you run make install as superuser? Maybe your user just doesn't have write access to install yum to its default location.
