Hello:
I have a Fedora Core 11 system at home (Centos 5.2 at work). I'd like to build vim with huge and perl. This works under Centos, but fails at home: no EXTERN.h or perl.h (and, presumably, other things). So: is there a yum package I should be downloading, and if so, which one? (both the home computer and the work computer are 64-bit systems)
Thank you, Chip Campbell

The command: yum provides "*/$filename"
will tell you wich packages provide a certain file

Thanks -- I'll try it out tonight at home. However, I note that trying it on my Centos machine yields:
$ yum provides '*/EXTERN.h' Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Error: Caching enabled but no local cache of //var/cache/yum/addons/filelists.xml.gz from addons
So I'm trying
yum makecache
and then
yum provides "*/EXTERN.h" Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
(works!)
Thank you, Chip Campbell

If I remember correctly, EXTERN.h file is often something that may be package dependent containing something like:
#undef EXT #undef INIT #define EXT extern #define INIT(x)
Perl distributions generally have an EXTERN.h and perl.h file that is used during the perl build process.
