  1. Configure RPMForge so the installation passes GPG key check. See RPMForge website for more details
  2. Create a new repo difinition with: nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo

Mindquarry under CentOS: mod_perl2 and LWP::Agent dependancies

Saturday, May 24th, 2008 by The BCM Team

If you, like me, got to the point where you have Mindquarry installed on your linux distribution together with Java Runtime but still can not run Mindquarry successfully and the error says something like:
“you need to install mod_perl2 and LWP::Agent” then this post is for you.

To install LWP::Agent: Download it and install by placing into the directory accessible via global PATH variable.

To install mod_perl2: execute in your terminal yum install mod_perl and make sure that the version you are installing is >2.x

Install VMWare Tools (Host – Windows, Guest – Linux)

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 by The BCM Team

Install software needed by VMware Tools

Note: you need to boot the 1-1 kernel from grub for this to work.

  1. Install packages to build the kernel modules: yum install gcc kernel-devel
  2. Check the running kernel matches the kernel headers: 
    
uname -r             # running kernel
rpm -q kernel-devel  # installed kernel headers
  3. If the two versions do not match, run: 
    
yum -y upgrade kernel kernel-devel
reboot
  4. Find out where the kernel headers are (you may need this later): ls -d /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)*/include

Prepare and install VMware Tools

Note: this guide is for you If you are running the VM inside VMware Workstation 5.5+

  1. From VMware Workstation: go to VM> Install VMware Tools
  2. From the VM: mount the virtual cd drive: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/
  3. Extract VMware Tools to: /tmp/tar -C /tmp -zxvf /mnt/VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz
  4. Unmount the virtual cd drive: umount /mnt
  5. Now run the installer: 
    
cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
  6. When asked “Do you want to run vmware-config-tools.pl?”, answer “Yes”.
