Now that you know how to create and decompress "zipped tarball archives", we will demonstrate how to install applications from websites containing these types of archives. Although this method is not as "user-friendly" as using the yum or rpm command, this method is useful if the application is NOT contained in regular software repositories...
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.
# Part is to be performed in your centos2 VM.
# Issue the following command to install a basic set of development tools and libraries:<br /><code>yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"</code>
