Installing the packages manually
You may need to install the packages manually if:
The machine does not have an active Red Hat subscription or Internet connection.
The setup program cannot find the kernel-devel or gcc version corresponding to the kernel
version. If the available kernel-devel is more recent than your kernel, you need to either update
the kernel or install the matching kernel-devel version manually.
You have the required packages on the local network and do not want to spend time for
automatic search and downloading.
Obtain the packages from your local network or a trusted third-party website, and install them as
follows:
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or Fedora, run the following command as the root user:
rpm -ivh PACKAGE_FILE1 PACKAGE_FILE2 PACKAGE_FILE3
In Ubuntu, run the following command:
sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE_FILE1 PACKAGE_FILE2 PACKAGE_FILE3
Example: Installing the packages manually in Fedora 14
Follow these steps to install the required packages in Fedora 14 on a 32-bit machine:
1. Run the following command to determine the kernel version and the required GCC version:
cat /proc/version
The output of this command includes the following:
Linux version 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686
gcc version 4.5.1
2. Obtain the kernel-devel and gcc packages that correspond to this kernel version:
kernel-devel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.rpm
gcc-4.5.1-4.fc14.i686.rpm
3. Obtain the make package for Fedora 14:
make-3.82-3.fc14.i686
4. Install the packages by running the following commands as the root user:
rpm -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.rpm
rpm -ivh gcc-4.5.1.fc14.i686.rpm
rpm -ivh make-3.82-3.fc14.i686
