Many thanks red-wizard. Postings crossed. Sadly I can't get to the FTP site. I guess we've blocked it off. :doh:
What I need is some sort of browser VPN tool to bypass the company firewall, something like um, well, Opera perhaps ...... :rolleyes:

Another try using yum to try to resolve the dependancies got me this similar output:-

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Sorry, but I'm still stuck. Naturally trying to --skip-broken would be foolish and the Opera rpm would still refuse to install anyway.

Ooh, that didn't post well. O.O Let's try again.
Thanks for this, however I get the following errors reported:-

I've explored with yum and got the response that the latest versions of both libnotify and libstdc++ were already installed to the latest version.
For clarity
# uname -a
Linux bah.humbug 2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 23 19:58:13 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I tried installing libnotify-devel and I've even tried soft-linking the required names to the module available in /usr/lib64 with no change in the messages.
Any further clues? 
Kind regards,
Humbug

Yes, it has been rather lax I'm afraid. I've only just joined, so it's a bit unknown at the moment. I'm just tasked with investigating it. Personally I'd ban all internet access anyway except when it's for specific company use and we'd open it for that only; lock the desktop (make it Citrix even?); and take away the wireless access points in the building. Network access can hopefully be allocated on a per-MAC basis as I go all draconian, but after all, we are here to work. I'm sure you wouldn't be happy to put your car in the garage for a service then end up getting billed for 3 hours on social media too.
One major problem has been letting people be local admin on their desktops, so this is already a bit 'out there' but I've got to think of the corporate cost in lost effort and lost data if we keep things open like this.
Sorry to be such a bah-humbug in the party,

The only download I can find for Linux is a Debian package, which CentOS refuses. Is there a support matrix I can refer to and/or install rpms for an OS other than Debian?
Kind regards,

A fight against open-access I'm afraid.
Opera Software have published their latest browser boasting built in free VPN giving access past firewalls of countries, companies, education establishments etc.
As one on the other side of the fence trying to curb access because of employees clobbering our public network connection and viewing 'inappropriate content', (i.e. site not work related, but in work and getting paid) including gambling, shopping, online auctions, games, social media, webmail, streaming services and 'the most popular sites', how can we lock it down? I know that there are tools such as Websense that try to keep up with published VPNs, but we haven't got that installed.
Is there a way to prevent it being enabled on the browser? We have Internet Explorer options fixed/greyed out according to company standard.
Obviously there are some business needs to have https access (which I think most VPN options use) to certain sites, but the list is vast.
We will simply not to install software we cannot control and scan desktops for it if someone finds a way of getting it themselves. Installations may be on Windows, MAC, or Unix desktops.
I don't want to be a kill-joy, but employees are not paid to explore the internet. Would you allow your employees to just sit reading a book or the paper, watching TV and phoning friends all day?
Your suggestions would be much appreciated,
Bah-Humbug
