Centos – Install CutyCapt on CentOS 6.3

Did you set up your CentOS system to use a proxy?

Create /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh:

export http_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://host.com:port/
export no_proxy=.domain.com
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/
export FTP_PROXY=http://host.com:port/

Restart shell (or run those commands manually) and your proxy should be set up including yum.

First of all, running "echo PATH=$PATH:/etc/X11" won't actually change the path - it'll just echo it. You should use the "export" command instead of "echo".

I just tried the above commands you mentioned, excluding the path command, and it worked fine for me. Perhaps you inadvertently changed the PATH to exclude /usr/bin/, which is where the X binary is located in CentOS 5.3?

Given that it's remote, you probably don't want to start an X server on the machine itself anyway. Try sshing into the system with the -X parameter (eg, ssh -X user@remotehost), then running "xterm" or "nautilus".

If you want a full remote desktop (eg, window manager) you'll need to run Xnest or something on your local computer to connect it to, otherwise it'll replace your original window manager.
