Hey all,
Currently working to establish CentOS on a server, but I don't happen to know all of the packages that need to be installed. If anyone could give a list or point to a list, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Aurin

I don't know offhand, but you could easily trial-and-error.
Or take a look at the package list here: http://www.gammon.com.au/smaug/installingcygwin.htm

zlib and its devels - for compression.
There is also one for crypto I'm pretty sure of.
Also a csh shell unless the startup file is bash compatible.
Normal GNU tools such as make and the like and what ever other packages -THAT- needs (IE GCC).
I can fire up smaugfuss on my centos box at home in the next few days - she's a fresh install of 5.2, what version are you running? I'd like to know so I can match version to version in my vm environment.
What I've done in the past is get gcc installed and working and then make it! See what it complains about. I've had a whole host of codebases running on 5.0 a while ago, so yeah it should work.
Oh yay my 200th post! And 95% of mine are filled with utter nonsense.

nice lol
as it turns out, build-essentials, gcc/g++, zlib were all that were really needed...except my code wasn't updated to the most recent gcc version, so I had to go through and update it--what a pain the rear that was! and running CentOS 6. so, I am actually up and running now, but thanks much for the reply, ayuri!

Haha no worries, just keep in mind the CentOS packages of gcc are a little ways downstream from release (or last I knew of anyhow). I personally love Cent. Can't do anything better for server wise. Just don't try to make it a 'desktop', for fun* I tried that and well...lets say unless you enjoy building rpms yourself get Fedora or Mint.
