Adding BIND

Group;

I want to add BIND to my Red Hat 7.3 server with legacy kernel 2.4.20-43.7.
When I try and install from my RH CD using RPM I get a list of 4/5
dependencies I need to add.

Can I do this all from 1 command? If so, what is the best method/string.
If not, what should be installed first; all the dependencies?

Thanks.

Doug

First, do not use the bind RPM as found on the CD. Fedora Legacy has the
following version available;

bind-9.2.1-1.7x.2.i386.rpm 18-Jul-2002 17:50 1.7M

CD version;
bind-9.2.0-8.i386.rpm 17-Apr-2002 00:14 1.7M

Couple of ways;

The first is to install and use yum for RHL7.3 from Fedora Legacy;

http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/quickstart.php

As an added advantage yum can will bring your system current (install the
latest updates for RHL7.3)

The second is to copy (or download) the bind RPM from wherever and all the
dependencies (and any dependencies for the dependencies) into one common
location and do (installs them all at once); rpm -Uvh *.rpm

First install the software that will make your life easy:
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/7.3/apt/

Then get a list of the most recent packages and install BIND:
/usr/bin/apt-get update; /usr/bin/apt-get bind

This will manage all the dependencies for you.

Sorry, that should be "apt-get install bind"

Lenard;

Thanks. I use yum and fedora legacy, didn't check for an updated "bind". I
should put all rpm's in the usr/local directory and install them from there
if I understand you correctly. Doing it from a home directory doesn't make
sense to me.

ynotssor;

This sounds easy. I will check and see what makes it easy on the fedora
site you recommend.

ynotssor;

I had a problem installing apt; error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/bin/apt-get; ... read failed - Bad file descriptor

Any other place to get apt?

In your OP you stated RH7.3, so I provided that link to you. Subsequently
you made some mention of "fedora site", so I'll leave you to select your
distro from http://apt.freshrpms.net/

You can put the rpm files whereever you want, it is not necessary to put
them in /usr/local, it makes as much sense to install the packages
from /usr/local as it does from a home directory. After all once you done
with the rpm it can be deleted, unless you think you might want it for
later usage.
