Compiling Software

1: How to compile

Software that comes in source form is often made available as a tarball-that is, it is archived into a single large file and then compressed with tar and gzip or bzip2, which often end in .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 or .tgz(contraction of .tar and .gz)

tar -xvzf kdirstat-2.2.0.tgz

tar -xvjf kdirstat-2.2.0.tar.bz2

To get a quick list of all the directories in a source tree

ls -l | grep drwx

To see what configure options come with a package

./configure --help

./configure

make (echo $PATH)

make install

the KDirStat executable is installed by default in /usr/local/kde/bin

2:How to run

<1>Running with Path Information

/usr/local/kde/bin/kdirstat

<2>Adding the Executable Directory to the Path

To make change during the current login session

export PATH = $PATH:/usr/local/kde/bin

To make the path change persist

~/.bash_profile

To make the path alteration system-wide

/etc/profile

<3>Linking to the Executable

ln -s /usr/local/kde/bin/kdirstat /usr/local/bin

3:Cleaning Up

make clean

OR

rm -rf kdirstat-2.2.0

RPM

1: Installing a New Package

rpm -ivh --force --nodeps packagename.rpm

2: Querying a Package

rpm -qa | grep -i 'name'

To find out which package a particular file belongs to

rpm -qf /dir/file

To find out the purpose of a package that is already installed

rpm -qi packagename

To find out what files are contained in a package

rpm -ql packagename

To identify information about and a list of files included in an uninstalled package

rpm -qilp packagename

3:Uninstalling a Package

rpm -e packagename

System Management Tool

1:Webmin

http://yourservername:10000

Set the yourservername to be the name of the server as described by the Webmin installation message

2:redhat-config-packages

3:APT  non-RPM package manager used in other  distribution like Debian and Ubuntu

    Please note that these apt pages are obsolete. They were written in the days when yum didn't yet exist, when apt was the only decent dependency tool for rpm around. This has changed, you should really prefer yum over apt for rpm which is now unmaintained.

     <1>:Go to the http://freshrpms.net/apt/ to download the rpm package

     <2>:rpm -ivh

     <3>:apt-get update

     <4>:apt-get -f install

     <5>:apt-get install synaptic(Download an apt GUI manager)
