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 .
