Did you try looking on the web?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
Spyder isn't in RHEL6, nor is it in EPEL6.
One of the best ways to check to see if it is in epel is to look in the
fedora package database. For spyder that is here.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/spyder
You will see that spyder is listed for
Fedora devel
Fedora 19
Fedora 18
Fedora 17
but not for EPEL6 or EPEL5. So, no one has put spyder into EPEL6.
So, it's not in there, now what.
Well, if it was me, I'd download the src.rpm from Fedora and try
rebuilding it.
(1)
You can go to koji and search for spyder
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/
Pick the version that you want, and grab the src.rpm,
This is the one I picked
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/spyder/2.1.2/1.fc16/src/spyde...
Once I've downloaded that, I would rebuild it with this command.
rpmbuild --rebuild spyder-2.1.2-1.fc16.src.rpm
You might notice that you have to install some dependancies for it to
build, but it does build.
Now, you try to install it, with yum
yum install /home/MYHOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/spyder-2.1.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm
And you'll see that it fails because it needs dependencies that also
aren't in RHEL6 or EPEL6.
So, go back to step (1) and repeat with the new dependancy.
I hope this helps.
