Hi, another way would be to use the nix package manager: http://nixos.org/nix/
list of available packages: http://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html you don't need to be super user to install it, and everything you install through nix can reside in your home directory as well. it is my goto tool whereever i work, when i am not root. cheers, rene Am 13.01.2015 um 16:14 schrieb Marc Williams <[email protected]>: > Aha, so I'm using julia on a computer cluster therefore I won't have > administrator rights which I would need to run the sudo command, am I right? > Is there anyway round this or do I need to get in touch with cluster admin > team? > > Thanks for your help > > On Tuesday, 13 January 2015 15:03:54 UTC, Isaiah wrote: > sudo yum install gettext-devel > > Can you run this command directly? > > On Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 9:42 AM, Marc Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to install Cairo so that I can draw to PDF using Gadfly.
