Hi, Basically yum tries to contact the URLs specified in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo to download the packages and related data. Are you sure your VM has proper network/Internet connectivity? Can you start a browser (or wget if you have X running) in it and access, say, http://haskell.org? Note: This is not really a Haskell related question though. Perhaps a Fedora forum would yield more/better answers. Patrick On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 12:31 AM, Hong Yang wrote:

Hi,

I installed a Fedora 14 virtual machine on my home Windows desktop. Then I tried to install GHC packages on Fedora by typing "yum install ghc" as root, and got the following error:

"Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again."

What should I do now to fix this error?

Thanks,

Hong
