We don't do a lot of RHE installations here, but we did RHE 5.2
(client) for one user.
After that, the user sent me e-mail that said:
It is working fine, but I am finding that there are a number of
crucial programs (compiler-related, among others) that I need to have
on it that are not available as packages to be added and will not
compile from source.
Meanwhile, I have an old crummy computer at home on which I am more
or less paralleling my efforts on, which runs Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu
seems to have all the packages I need, ready-to-go.
I asked for more detail and he said:
The most recent problem packages, for which "yum" as well as
self-compiling has failed, are libraries and compiler files
associated with programming AVR (brand) microcontrollers. That is:
- a special version of "binutils", compiled for the avr
- a special version of "gcc", compiled for the avr
- a special version of "libc" called "avr-libc", which has to be
build using the first two.
- additional tools are later used to exploit these, termed
"simulavr", "avrdude" and a version of "gdb" that is built for the
avr.
Using Ubuntu, the pre-built packages were installed using:
sudo apt-get install binutils-avr
sudo apt-get install gcc-avr
sudo apt-get install avr-libc
sudo apt-get install gdb-avr
sudo apt-get install avrdude
sudo apt-get install simulavr
Are there equivalent packages that I can point him to for a "yum"
install on RHE5? If so, where would the list of package names be
found that I could point him to?
Thanks!
- Steve
