In order to build software from source code, you must have the appropriate software development tools (such as make and gcc) and libraries (such as GTK) installed. The required tools will vary depending on the computer languages used in the software being built.

# Issue the following command to install a basic set of development tools and libraries:<br /><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"</span></code></b>
