My problem is that i dont have root permission in my system in office. I need to install some packages for my development, usually i used to download the source, install using ./configure --perfix=path to my local directory, and use make and make install, i have added my local bin directory to bash.rc file so that i can use all the installed commands.
Similar way i need to use YUM to install in my local repos, because its very difficult to install a source having toomuch of dependencies .
