Yours does not install fp-lib-table. I just updated mine to incorporate some concepts from yours :) I have people using this script now, people I am paying, so their time is my money, and I plan on maintaining it, and will try and receive patches that don't break it in good faith. I have serious doubts that the packages for YUM systems are all named the same as APT-GET systems, so I think our install_prerequisites will need some further tuning on red had (i.e. yum) systems. > > Regards > Fabrizio > > > > > > On Fri, Oct 18, 2013 at 10:11 AM, Fabrizio Tappero > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hello, >> I updated the script according to Dick's suggestion and added some >> modifications in it for "yum" people so that we are now a bigger >> family.
