Yes, check out checkinstall at http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ What it does is create an rpm from the tar.gz or bz file, then install the rpm and enter the program into the yum database. Of course, if you have an rpm package to begin with, just do a local install and then it'll be entered into the database. 'yum localinstall <place where rpm is>

You still need to download the tarball and recreate the rpm .. -- ----------------------------------------------- regards Hikaru ----------------------------------------------- Mohd Izhar Firdaus Bin Ismail Amano Hikaru 天野晃 「あまの ひかる」 Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS ICT 2nd Year 1st Semester mohd.izhar.firdaus@xxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------- kagesenshi.87@xxxxxxxxx Blog: http://kagesenshi.blogspot.com -----------------------------------------------
