Hello All,


I want to build some ssh based tools to access various linux based server to do execute some shell scripts and execute command remotely on those servers. there are too many servers.

so i want to develop some tools/scripts with perl and python not in bash script, I know, In open source community there are some tools already available and i can use them. but still i want to create my own tools/script and also. those tools are depended on some of specific module and module's dependencies.


I cannot install those module with root or not in "lib" directory and not even i can compile with GCC. I have to install those into a normal user which don't have root access and to user's home directory.


I tried to use Net::OpenSSH in perl, and successfully install it in user's home directory but while writing the code it require IO:Pty , that's need to to be build with GCC to install


So Is there any workaround for this ? any compiled module available?


In Python ,

I tried to use paramiko, but it also required some other library such as PyCrypto and other's . Paramiko can be install in user's home directory but how i can use PyCrypto to install/compile and pass the option to use Paramiko.

Any solution or workaround for this?



I am using RHEL5.x


Thanks,

Inability to install under root-owned directories is not a problem (you could install your own Perl and accompanying modules). But inability to compile source code with gcc(1) is going to make your goal trickier.

My opinion on how to proceed:

1. Explain your needs to your sysadmin. See if you can get the gcc package even temporarily installed for this purpose; or
2. Build your own Perl - and needed modules - on a very similar system, where you do have rootly access to install gcc. When you're finished with the build and testing, tar(1) up the entire Perl base directory, and migrate it to your other system.

Option #1 is best. And, even if you're doing option #2, it would be polite and prudent to keep your sysadmin informed about it.
