Topic: How do I install to a server from another with compiler?

[ntblade]

Hi all,
I've managed once or twice to compile packages on a test server with the dev-tools installed but I don't know how to transfer the newly made packages to another server without the dev-tools.
How do I know which files I need to copy?
Is it usually just a matter of copying the files?
Can anyone help me or point me to an example / howto please?

Many thanks
N.

First give us a hint on what you are compling and how?

using a tarball or from an SRPM?

The only realy way of compiling on one machine
and installing on another is to make it into an
RPM.

Nessus Security Scanner from source.  It required Bison and Flex which I installed from the dev tools contrib

I was afraid of that.  It looks a bit daunting.

If you go to http://rpmfind.net, you can find the freshrpms version for RH7.3.

Get the SRPM and there are documentation here on how to setup an RPM repository for recompiling and building....

Or just use the RPM....
