how to install bind from source files
 

i want to know how to install bind from a source file.
i can't use yum and rpm package managements......

have you tried to search the web for "compile bind from sources"

The first result I get is this:
http://linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/bind9.html

Then why don't you download the source:
http://www.isc.org/downloads/

..and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. There is a file called "INSTALL" in there. Interestingly enough, it has instructions on how to install the software.
Oh? And why not?

Definitely the big qn is why not; it's by far the easiest/fastest/most reliable method.

definitely you need to install gcc through yum install gcc

then only you can install any files from source file

for installing gcc from yum,you can create an repo and install it from web

Hopping your issue was solved

The OP didn't ask about installing GCC, and specifically said they COULD NOT USE YUM...so you advised them to install GCC through yum???

if you can not use yum
-- there is a different thread on this, an "intern" can NOT use yum --

then it begs , "why use rhel/cent "

this becomes a "linux from scratch" situation

because that is EXACTLY what is going to happen .

hi
please help me out.please tell how to create a service named at /etc/init.d/named

As an example, here's Fedora's initscript for named.

You have been asked at least three times as to WHY you cannot use yum to install this, but you haven't answered, or even acknowledged you were asked. If you're not going to answer questions, why post???

There are MANY easily-found service startup scripts..including the ones you already have on your system.

sorry for not replying ....actually i am doing training in
company and they prefer installing using source code rather than yum....

actually this time i really need some help....i need to install exim as mail server.. and the problem is that i could not find tar file of db4-devel and other dependencies to install...please help me out to install exim

..which is STILL not a good answer, since most any company would want you to use yum, since it's faster, and installs the packages that have been tested/certified with your OS. I find it very hard to believe that a company would WANT you to create a system that doesn't update automatically, and is less stable. If you want to install source as a learning experience, then you should do some VERY obvious things, like read the instructions.
Go back an re-read the LQ Rules. Open a different thread for a different question.

And the answer here is the same as before: INSTALL PACKAGES THROUGH YUM. There are LOTS of dependencies, which is why package managers are used in the first place. And after you install DB4, (again, read the instructions for how to install/build it and the development libraries), you will probably have to install OTHER dependencies. Since you don't tell us what version/distro of Linux you're using, it's hard to give meaningful answers. There are source packages for pretty much every distro.

may they think that install using source file will help to learn more about that software

No, it won't, unless you're actually CODING with that software, pulling through it, and trying to enhance it. Otherwise, it goes back to being pointless, unless you need some cutting-edge feature that's not enabled by default, or in the current package.

And if they did want you to learn about that software, shouldn't you have actually tried reading the instructions and documentation, so that you COULD learn, rather than asking others to feed you an answer?
