how to translate fedora yum source into RHEL? - linux

I use fedora 13 on my laptop, and I use 'yum' to install "recordmydesktop" just for fun.One day, my boss ask me to install "recordmydesktop" into his computer (whose operating system is Redhat Enterprise 5.2).
The yum in his computer does not work! I can't yum install recordmydesktop! I know the reason is in the yum's source, but how can I use the source in fedora to the yum in RHEL(Redhat Enterprise)?

try rpmforge as repository... edit one file in /etc/repo.d and add as repository rpmforge...this should work

Is it possible to install a Fedora package on RedHat Linux Server?

I would like to install KDevelop on RedHat Linux Server v.7. Although there is no an appropriate RPM for RH Server, such an RPM does exist for Fedora.Since both Fedora and RH Server have the same code base and are supported by the same company, is it possible to install a Fedora RPM on RH Server? If yes, how can I do that?
Add the EPEL repository from Fedora to the list of repositories.
Once the repository will be added, you will be able of installing kdevelop using yum.

How to install CLISP in Redhat Linux

I was searching, how to install CLISP (http://www.clisp.org) in RedHat Linux. In the CLISP web site Fedora installation link is broken.
yum install clisp doesn't work even though sudo apt-get install clisp in Ubuntu.
Anyone there, installed CLISP in RedHat Linux?
If you just want a CL-implementation you can use sbcl which will run standard CL-code as good as clisp.
If you want clisp download the tarball and follow the instructions in ihe INSTALL file.
There is a thread in the CentOS forums about a yum installation alternative, but it might not work on recent releases.
I just installed it on Fedora 18. Repo:
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/18/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/c/
It has been moved to 'archives.fedoraproject.org' because it's old. So if you have an old fedora you might have to add this repo to your yum repos.
You can build from source, I just wanted to learn a little bit about lisp and this allowed me to get setup and get started:
You can find releases here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/release/
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/release/2.49/clisp-2.49.tar.gz
tar xvfz clisp-2.49.tar.gz
cd clisp-2.49
./configure --prefix=$HOME --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv
cd ./src
make install

installing specific packages on ns2

I want to install ns2 on my computer. After trying in some ways like:installing on Ubuntu 13.10, or installing via cygwin on 64 bits windows 7, I faced with problems such as unable to find ns.exe in ns-2.26 or other versions directory of cygwin. Now I've installed win XP sp3 on VMware, and ns2 on cygwin in this windows environment. Now most of those problems(with Ubuntu 13.10 or cygwin on win7) are solved but i need to have these packages "XFree86"(all of them) and "mansim" on ns2 (v2.26). The problem here, is that i don't know where and how can i download and install them and not sure whether it's possible or not. I've googled it but can't find useful idea. Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English.
Solved you say? Why then be interested in the year 2002 XFree86?
I.e. XFree86 hasn't been used in a new OS release since then : Redhat 9 and other OS´s from that year. (The latest OS with XFree86 was RHEL3, based on Redhat 9.)
Cygwin: If you have X (The GUI Desktop), you also have the "x-packages". (xorg-***, libX*)
Ubuntu: You'd usually not download software. 'apt' is used for that.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install g++ g++-4.4 autoconf libtool libxmu-dev xgraph
.... When 'libxmu-dev' is installed, you have all the required X-libraries for ns2.
Mannasim: There's an old patch for ns-2.29.3.
But what we mostly use today is the patch for ns-2.35. Or the complete "ns235-mannasim":
$ git clone git://github.com/paultsr/ns-allinone-2.35.git

I need libapr-1.so.0 rpm for RHEL v6.6

I was installing libapr-util1-1.3.9-4.1.x86_64 on RHEL v6.6 and it requires libapr-1.so.0 as a dependency. I've searched a lot and couldn't find.
The only rpm I found was vulture-common-3.2-185.1.x86_64.rpm which installs a lot of other packages as well that will conflict with already installed servers and software on my machine.
Does anyone know from where I can get this rpm? Or how to select specific part from the rpm to be installed?
For me yum whatprovides 'libapr-1.so.0' shows apr-1.3.9-5.el6_2.i686 is the package, on my CentOS 6.6.
For CentOS 7.7 I had the same error when trying to configure and compile mesos.
I had to install some additional libraries:
sudo yum install -y git apache-maven python-devel java-devel zlib-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-md5 apr-devel subversion-devel apr-util-devel
For me yum install apr , on my CentOS 7.x.
Try to search for apr-1.4.8-7.el7.x86_64.rpm and apr-util-1.5.2-6.e7.x86_64.rpm

Installing Mercurial on Redhat Linux

Will Mercurial work on Redhat Linux? I tried, yum install mercurial, with no success. I tried downloading a tar ball from Mercurial site but it failed when I tried to install. Does Mercurial work at all on Redhat?
Here's instructions for obtaining RPM packages for Linux systems.
Here is a discussion describing many methods for obtaining Mercurial in Red Hat.
On Rhel 7.2 i performed below command and it worked like charm :)
sudo rpm -ivh https://www.mercurial-scm.org/release/centos7/RPMS/x86_64/mercurial-3.4-0.x86_64.rpm
Mercurial project provides RPM packages starting from version 3.4.
