Would anyone be interested?

Added by TomH about 5 years ago

Would anyone be interested in downloading all the dependencies needed to build a source on a CentOS 5 machine?

I have been trying for days and I can't seem to get the rrdtool installed.
When I install ruby, the perl module is missing.
When I install perl, ruby is missing.

There's always a problem and i'm seriously tired of trying but I keep doing it every day.

Would anyone be so kind to help me out here?

I know some of you are able to compile the source just fine and I would appreciate it if you could install the dependencies for me.

You can choose to have a free OS Installation or just continue with what I have installed so far it is:

openssl-devel
lua-devel
freetype-devel
libx-devel
mesa-libGL
mesa-libGL-devel
openal-devel
libxm-devel
libpng-devel
libjpeg-devel
bison
and a couple more..

Some of them I can't find.

Thank you.

I assume you use the standard CentOS repositories only?

Did you try to add the [[Dag Wieers repositories:http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/]] to your installation? That may allow you to install a lot more and more recent packages to your CentOS installation. I do this quite frequently at work, when I have to deploy some fancy new toy that requires cutting edge libraries.

I hope this helps.

Is this how it should look?

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
enabled=1

Yes, something like that. I use Dag's rpm to setup the repositories. This will configure mirrors automatically, too.

This is what I get:

        package rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386 (which is newer than rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386) is already installed

I can't find a solution to the problems. ;/
