Never mind, since what I was asking for was an amd64 binary snapshot, but that is probably untenable. Here's why: It took over four weeks for me to do this very easy task on our CentOS 6 system. Fortunately, they had already installed some more modern compilation tools, but not all. 1. Ask IT to install git. Go to CCB. Install. 2. Compile, notice that a library is missing. 3. Ask IT to install library. Go to CCB. Install. 4. Go to 2. At any time, IT could have said no.
