Find an RPM package for whatever program you want installed, preferably from the same distro that you're running, and extract the contents of the package with the rpm command into your home directory. Create a bin folder in your home directory and add it to your path. Copy the extracted program into that folder. If the program also depends on libraries that aren't currently installed, follow the same procedure to download and extract the needed library RPMs, making a lib folder, and adding it to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
