similar to: How to handle updates after rebuilding PHP?

Hi, Our public library management software (PMB) runs on Apache/PHP/MySQL. It requires some additional PHP modules to run correctly, namely: 1) php-gd 2) php-yaz 3) php-xslt I've googled and fiddled around quite a bit, and come to the following conclusions: 1) php-gd can be installed from extra repos (rpmforge IIRC), so this one's no problem. 2) To install php-yaz, I have to

Hi All: I'm trying to rebuild the kvm SRPM (kvm-83-164.el5_5.9.src.rpm) on a centos 5.5 x86_64 and it's failing with the message: error: Failed build dependencies: kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.18-194.el5 is needed by kvm-83-164.9.x86_64 I have already run "yum-builddep <srpm>" and here is the output (indicates nothing missing) Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror

Hi, I have a CentOS 5.0 LAMP server, and I need to install the php-yaz module to implement the Z39.50 protocol (which handles data exchange for public libraries). I've already done this with Debian (a one-liner: apt-get install php-yaz) and also on Slackware (more complicated: compile Yaz, rebuild PHP). Has anyone here ever done this on CentOS? What would be the most orthodox method to

I pulled the coreutils SRPM and it won't build because it wants texinfo and dnf says it doesn't exist, using either the builddep or search subcommands. (There may be other builddep

Hello, As discussed on the centos-users list, I would like to create some pages on the CentOS Wiki with instructions on how to set up your environment to build RPMs and how to rebuild RPMs. This content today exists here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786df9f6f8c918eff16bf67be0d I would suggest creating these two: 1)

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5 on all our desktops here (work & home), and I'm quite happy with it. There's one detail I'd like to change. GIMP comes in version 2.2. There have been some changes in version 2.4, and it's also been around for quite some time. There are quite some functions in 2.4 that I'd like to use. As far as I understand, building GIMP 2.4 would involve

I'm trying to install the build dependencies for an SRPM using yum-builddep, and it's telling me that it can't get the repo sqlite file for updates-source from vault. Any ideas? Something wrong with my repo configuration? The only thing I've done that should have touched the repo configuration is installing epel-release-7-1.noarch. Thanks! Eric [root at localhost SRPMS]#

Hi, The subject says it all. I'm currently fiddling with CentOS to become comfortable with it. Starting from a minimal system (everything unchecked during install), I wanted to have a reasonable set of build tools. Roughly the equivalent of Debian's 'apt-get install build-essential'. I tried yum groupinstall "Development Tools", which resulted in a total of 108 MB

Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.3 on all my desktops, and I really like it. Now I'd like to build a few additional apps that aren't included in any third party repo. Some of them require GTK2 2.12 to build, so I'm considering a (careful) upgrade of this package. General question: 1) how "safe" is it to upgrade this package? To do so, I'd use an SRPM from Fedora. 2) What

Hi, I just read the release announcement for RHEL 5.2beta: https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-announce/2008-March/msg00000.html And something caught my eye: --8<----------------------------------------- * Laptop and Desktop Enhancement + Suspend and Hibernate improvements + Re-base of the top Desktop applications - Evolution 2.12.3 - Firefox 3 - OpenOffice 2.3.0

Found it. It happens from the process buffer inside Lugaru Epsilon. I think ls thinks it's doing a DIRED output instead of a shell output. Now I need to figure out why it thinks that. This wasn't happening in CentOS 7.

Hi, I'm running a few PHP-based apps on our server (PMB, SPIP, Joomla, PHPMyAdmin), and I'm not always comforted about security. I don't know the details, but many a security expert frowns when it comes to PHP. Now I just stumbled over this: http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin.127.html Has anyone already tried this out? An opinion about it? Is it worth it? Since I have to

Hi, Usually I'm not one to complain about "old" version of the CentOS kernel and/or software, since I appreciate CentOS' stability. So this might be the exception that confirms the rule. I've been jumping through several burning loops these past days to configure my little MSI Wind netbook, and I'm currently considering going for a more recent kernel. There's no

Hi, What's the best (cleanest, easiest, whatever) way to install the proprietary NVidia driver on CentOS 5.5 ? Usually I'm using the RPMForge 3rd party repo and compile the odd missing package myself from a Fedora SRPM. But the nvidia packages look a bit like a mess. DKMS has errors in the startup script (looking for a nonexistent log_action_msg and the likes), so I wonder if it's

Greetings, I wanted to enable blackhole and CSV engine in the mysql server so downloaded the SRPM from Centos Site, setup the rpmbuild envronment with mighty help from the our own Russ's Owlriver website and tried building it. I have a 5.2 centos box on which I need to enable this so took the 5.2 SRPM (mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.src.rpm) from vault.centos.org.(mysql The Build did not complete

I can't seem to figure out why any changes I make to php.ini and restart apache (apachectl stop|start; grep of any httpd processes), the settings do not update. php -r "phpinfo();" | grep Configuration Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php.ini Configuration I installed extensions via yum and they don't show up. # rpm -qa|grep php php-gd-5.1.6-27.el5

For the 2 threads going on about PHP 5.2/5.3... CentOS tracks upstream whose version is... php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 If you want something newer, you have to go off the beaten path. try this...(as root) wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo mv CentOS-Testing.repo /etc/yum.repos.d yum --enablerepo=c5-testing check-update and this would allow to update to version 5.2.9-2.el5.centos

Hi, I'm running CentOS 5.1 with the GNOME desktop in all our public libraries around here. I start from a minimal install stripped down to the bones, install X11, GNOME, and then one application per task. I try to follow some best-of-the-breed logic, and my focus lies on robustness to avoid the Tamagotchi syndrome :o) Recently I've been rather disappointed with Mozilla Firefox, which

hello, I started with ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/SRPMS/firefox-2.0.0.16-1.fc8.src.rpm with the hope of rebuilding it for el5/centos. All of the dependencies were available (mostly from rpmforge) except one: something called system-bookmarks. I elected to comment out this from the spec, firefox.spec I did the extracts with CPIO rpm2cpio firefox-xxx.src.rpm |

Hi, I'm using CentOS 4.3 on all my PC's, and I'm very happy with it. Everything *just* works. I want to give DVD::RIP 0.97.10 a try. I enabled rpmforge and kbs repos, but there's only 0.52.2 available, which has an annoying bug in it. So I installed the main dependency, transcode, via yum. Then I downloaded the (PERL) sources of DVD::RIP 0.97.10, ran configure (e. g. perl
