Question : How to install "Developer tools" after installation completed

Hey,

I installed Redhat Enterprise server 5.2 on an i386 system which was not going to need the developer tools.

Now we need the developer tools and installing them piecemeal is killing me.

HOW can I get the original DVD to install the developer tools package...just as if I selected it during the initial install (please dont say reinstall ;-)

Thanks!
Mike

Answer : How to install "Developer tools" after installation completed

I use CentOS which is very similar, and it have a package called 'yum' which was originally found on YellowDog Linux.

The YellowDog Update Manager will grab a package and all it dependencies from internet repositories and install them

See http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/yum/

Once you have yum working this should install basic devel tools.
eg:
yum install rpmbuild gcc
