I've been fighting to get the latest source of pgadmin compiled on Centos 5 64-bit.
I obtained gnu-c++ (so it was happy with g++). It then complained about wxWidgets, so I obtained the source for that, compiled and installed, and ./configure for pgadmin saw wxWidgets and was happy with that. Go to make...
It complains that some header file is missing. A google search reveals limited answers, but the same couple of searches reveal the wxwidgets
Something I've wondered for a while, is there any site out there that allows you to search by filename to find what package a file belongs to for a particular distribution? One of the many things I've loved about Debian for years is their packages.debian.org site which among other things allows exactly that. It's so handy.
Unless yum or some other tool provides this information(I'm not aware of any tool that can provide this.
I still refer to packages.debian.org when I'm trying to find what package I need for a particular file, despite it being Debian at least I can get an idea what the source of the file is and can try to track down an equivalent for CentOS/RHEL/Fedora.
And to be clear, I'm not talking about the rpm -q -f <file> command, I'm talking about finding package names for files that are NOT installed on your system(s). I suppose I could do rpm -q -l -p <package> for each and every RPM, and maintain that list, but that'd also assume that I have every RPM, which I may not(base distro RPMs aside).
