yum install bluefish

As for Eclipse if you do any python programming pydev I'm pretty sure is included as a Extras package and for PHPEclipse just install it of the web - The phpeclipse's site should have instructions for you.

let me make sure i follow you correctly... so, i want to do

yum install eclipse-pydev.i386

or whatever it might be named?

and as for PHPEclipse, i should be good to go once i get to the website... just a guess-- i'll d/l the file, and then what-- navigate to that folder, and is it

yum install filename

-- i mean is that generally the standard way of doing that kind of software installation? (i'm sure i'll find the instructions there, as you said-- i guess you could say i'm trying to quiz myself!)

thanks, Firewing1, you've been a great help!! that repo installation couple days ago was a great explanation!

No problem - For Eclipse, that's it just don't include the .i386 part:

yum install eclipse eclipse-pydev

For the other Eclipse pacakges, Eclipse has a built-in package manager. So you just start Eclipse uo, copy the PHPEclipse URL that it tells you to in their instruction into Eclipse's site packages and it will download it for you.

If you'd like to install a .rpm file locally, you have two options:

rpm -Uhv filename.rpm

Which is my favourite way but it will not solve dependencides, so really yum is the way to go:

yum localinstall filename.rpm

You almost had it - Just add that local infront of Install to get to install a local RPM file. If the package is in the Fedora repos, then just use

yum install whatever

thank you. believe it or not, some important learning takes place for me here between those last couple of posts. i definitely feel better about installing stuff now. i hate not knowing what's going on, but i'm so inconsistent-- i just want to play too... so, inevitibly, a little of both gets accomplished, and i guess that just fine.

tell me this-- related to this thread title at least:
if i wanted to try RHEF 4 (sp?) - the red hat current version.. i dunno-- whatever seems to be referenced on macromedia's site-- sounds like it's not that big of a deal to get it working over there. but-- i can not simply download a copy of that, correct? it's unfortunate that the link at the bottom of this page at adoble gives me a 404. go figure.

one other quick question-- cause it was evading my eyes earlier -- what is the syntax for the .bin file i d/l from adobe?
i recall

[root@localhost:] sh filename.bin

(i think) is that right? thanks! thanks very much for all the attention to my issues!!

[windblows]

You can run

[root@localhost:] sh filename.bin

or

[root@localhost:] ./filename.bin

But you have to make sure its executable. So make sure you run this first...

[root@localhost:] chmod +x filename.bin

Thats it...

Enjoy!

hey, thanks! what would be the proper name for the command above? reason i'm asking is because, from my limited, very limted knowledge, i perceive chmod (change mode, right?) as an "action" command, more than an inquiry typeof command. just curious. i realize of course that it's entirely possible that it doesn't have to make phonetic sense for it to be an inquiry command.

thanks!

[windblows]

It would be a command. Your telling it to allow it to be executable. You can always see the permissions by entering

[root@localhost:] ls -la filename.bin

That should give you the current permissions for the user,group and everyone else.

Enjoy
