  1. Need some assistance. Trying to install on RHEL 6.0. Installed Remi and EPEL Repositories (twice) see confirmation and ran update – currently have Firefox 11 (64-bit) installed (See Yum list). Install failing due to some missing dependencies. Any help you can provide would be highly appreciated.

    You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
