Hello shikuojia
You should be more precise to be better understood.

i reinstall my system
Why did you reinstall it ?

i was installing some software
What software ? And how did you install it ?
If you had used a package manager it would have taken care of dependencies for you.

How ? Are you sure you installed the right rpm packages for your exact distribution version ?
Once again with a package manager, it would have been easier.

i found there was no changing
What do you mean ?
If you installed the rpm packages, it is impossible that nothing changed
So I advice you to use a package manager like apt-get, smart or yum.
You should start searching in this direction first, I think.
Good luck for now.
