To preface this, I don't have much Red Hat experience. Most of my experience is with Ubuntu. The server I'm working on right now is running Red Hat Enterprise 6.5.
I'm trying to do a simple yum install ncurses-devel
, but I'm having some issues with 403 errors. I also get the same if I try to install gdal. The problem seems to be with the rhel-x86_64-server-6 in particular, but I can't figure out why.
$ sudo -E yum install ncurses ncurses-devel

How do I fix this? Does it have something to do with subscription-manager
?
Best Answer
I was able to fix this by changing
sudo -E yum install ncurses ncurses-devel
to
sudo yum install ncurses ncurses-devel
I was running into something earlier where
sudo yum
wasn't able to access the outside world (because of my work proxy), but apparently that was the cause of this issue.
