How install a lot of program

Post by nedonodo » 2010/02/09 15:20:47

Hi,

I'm new about CentOS. I don't know how to work repository system. I'm coming from Ubuntu where I can find a program through apt-get.
I would like to know how I can find a program in repository
I need to install the following software:
1)VLC
2)SIPp
3)Image Magick
4)Speex library (yum install speex speex-devel)

I can install all by source code but it's too long. Can you help me?

Thank you

Welcome to CentOS, but please do the required reading.
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=47

Also, 'man yum' to learn its capabilities.

Thank you. I have solved for VLC and ImageMagick but I can't find SIPp.
Where can I find it?

You can find [b]sipp[/b] in [b]epel[/b] repository.

Please read:
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
for available CentOS repositories, as well as:
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
to make sure you don't make a mess with your packages.

Speex is currently installed on my system, and I may be wrong, but it seems to be coming from one of CentOS Base repositories (the repositories available by default on CentOS).
On the other hand, [b]speex-devel[/b] is available in [b]rpmforge[/b] repository.

The RPMforge version is older - not sure why it exists.

Hi,

The sipp package in EPEL is too old so I have solved installing it from source. The same thing for VLC: I need a version >= 1.0 but in the repository there is version 0.9.9a.
Now I'm trying to install VLC from source but I get the following error


checking for buggy GNU/libc versions... found
configure: error: Buggy GNU/libc (version 2.5 - 2.7) present. VLC would crash; there is no viable
work-around for this. Check with your distribution vendor on how to update the
glibc run-time. Alternatively, build with --disable-nls --disable-mozilla and
be sure to not use LibVLC from other applications/wrappers.

Install a different Linux distribution. Nearly every package depends on glibc so you can't just replace it with a later release.
