I apologize if this is answered, I may just not know what exactly to search for.

I am attempting to install Cacti on RHEL6 and have hit a wall trying to install these three package: php-snmp php-devel php-mbstring

At first, I just couldn't find them on the EPEL or RHN Tools repos. I ended up adding the remi repo, but once I did that, I began to get errors complaining about unresolved dependencies show below:

Error: Package: php-5.4.24-1.el6.remi.x86_64 (remi)
Requires: libcrypto.so.10(libcrypto.so.10)(64bit) Error: Package: php-cli-5.4.24-1.el6.remi.x86_64 (remi)

Requires: libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.1)(64bit)

To that, I tried to manually install the libcrypto.so.10 package, which led to errors about a conflict with an already installed package. I'm nearing the end of my patience on this as I've been messing with it for 2 days. I can't seem to find clear instructions on how to get this to work. I have a few years experience with Linux, but I've not messed with repos as everything I've ever needed was available on the general repo. Please be descriptive in any answers, assume I'm not familiar with the solution. I appreciate any help on this and feel free to ask for any other info that may be required that I've omitted.

You will most likely need to upgrade to RHEL 6.5 since OpenSSL 1.0.1 shipped with that update on which those remi RPMs are depending on.

One other piece of information that ended up solving it. Our RHEL point to a Satellite server. What I didn't know was that we didn't have the Optional Repositories enabled on there. Once we did that, and updated a few packages, I was able to install it. Such a simple fix, but for anyone else with RHEL, just know you will need to enable the RHN Optional repositories to install those packages.

you should uninstall cacti/php-5.4.x from your system, add epel repo and reinstall everything as it suppose too)
