not installing? repo?

qwertyjjj · 08-24-2011, 04:16 AM

I am trying to install
iftop
openvpn
rkhunter

they all say package not available.
Any ideas what I need to enable? It looks like the centosplus repo is enabled so shouldn't it find these?

openvpn should be available from RPMForge, iftop and rkhunter are provided by the EPEL repository. I checked on a CentOS 6 machine, not sure about CentOS 5. Both these repositories are mentioned in the CentOS wiki.

How do I add RPMForge and EPEL to the yum process?

Also, openvpn won't install as I am missing the lzo-devel

There are links to the instructions in the wiki page I mentioned. Basically you have to download and install the proper RPM provided by the repository and import the GPG key to make yum trust the signed packages you want to install.

Ok, I have EPEL.
I seem to be missing the lzo-devel for openvpn

lzo-devel is provided by the CentOS base repository. If you still don't have set-up the RPMForge repo, where are you trying to install openvpn from?

colucix · 08-24-2011, 04:35 AM

Ok. Your last post already answers my question. I'd suggest to install the binary release from RPMForge to spare you a headache. Anyway, the compilation process cannot find gcc or any other suitable C compiler:

Code:

configure: error: in `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openvpn-2.2.1':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

This means you did not install it, since usually compilers and development software is not installed by default for security reasons. You can install all the basic stuff using:

Code:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

but again you don't really need them if you succeed in installing the binary package. Here are the installation instruction of the RPMForge repo: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalRes...ories/RPMForge

I installed openvpn using this (obviously changed the version numbers, etc):

Code:

RPM file:

    rpmbuild -tb openvpn-[version].tar.gz

Once you have the .rpm file, you can install it with the usual

    rpm -ivh openvpn-[details].rpm

Is that it, it is now installed or do I have to do any extra (ignoring the config processes)?

The first command builds the binary package from the source code. The second one installs it on your system. If the first process aborted with errors, I doubt you succeeded in installing it. Anyway, what's wrong with the RPMForge repository? I checked and they provide the openvpn package since Red Hat 7.3 release.
