Re: Unable to find libgif/libungif on RHEL 6

[Kaushal Modi]

Thanks for the info. I was going bonkers.

I'll request the Linux admin team if they can install this.

This is on my work machine where I don't have sudo access. So I need to install everything (emacs, tmux, required libs, many other things) in my $HOME.

I couldn't find giflib-devel source anywhere. Do you know how to build giflib from source that does the same thing as giflib-devel?

I don't think I can install RPM packages in my $HOME without sudo. Can I?

Thanks.

Yes, that's what I typically do on RHEL 6.  Apparently Red Hat forgot to put giflib-devel into RHEL 6.  See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659854

I used "/home/kmodi/usr_local/6" as prefix when installing giflib.

Welcome to package configuration hell.  Rather than fiddle with all those settings (something I've never done for RHEL 6) you may find it simpler to install a properly-configured giflib.  See:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=giflib-devel

and look for "CentOS 6".
