cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
# wget http://fedora-arm.wantstofly.org/cross/cross.repo
# yum install armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc

i got an error

# cd yum.repos.d
[root@sparc yum.repos.d]# wget http://fedora-arm.wantstofly.org/cross/cross.repo
--19:08:51--  http://fedora-arm.wantstofly.org/cross/cross.repo
Resolving fedora-arm.wantstofly.org... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
[root@sparc yum.repos.d]#

What is this error?How to solve it

The error is letting you know it cannot get to the server by the name that was given. This is an error in name resolution (DNS or Hosts lookup), as the error mentions. Check your repos file and see if you can ping or trace route to the host.
