Dante socks install :

Download Dante from : ftp://ftp.inet.no/pub/socks/dante-1.2.0.tar.gz

tar zxvf dante-1.2.0.tar.gz
cd dante-1.2.0
yum install gcc make
./configure
make -j4
make install

ifconfig -a |  grep inet | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk -F ‘:’ ‘{print $2}’ | grep -v 127.0.0.1 >  /root/ips

for i in `cat ips` ;do echo “internal: $i port = 6060″ >> /root/sockd.conf ;done

Example of sockd.conf :

logoutput: stderr
method: username none
external: externalIPtouse
client pass {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 port 1-65535 to: 0.0.0.0/0
}
pass {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0
method: username
protocol: tcp udp
}

Launch using :

sockd -f /root/sockd.conf -d

RPM has an option (–prefix) that allows users to install rpms in other directories than the default ones.
Packages that allow to be installed in other directories are called : relocatable

[root@localhost gcc]# rpm -qpi libxslt-1.1.24-4.fc11.i586.rpm | grep Relocations
Name : libxslt Relocations: /usr
[root@localhost gcc]# rpm -qi libxslt | grep Relo
Name : libxslt Relocations: /usr

So basically you can install this package in other directory.

[root@localhost gcc]# rpm -ihv libxslt-1.1.24-4.fc11.i586.rpm –prefix $PWD –force
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
1:libxslt ########################################### [100%]
[root@localhost gcc]# ls
bin lib libxslt-1.1.24-4.fc11.i586.rpm share

For example gcc is not relocatable and installing it in an different directory is not allowd:

[root@localhost gcc]# rpm -qi gcc | grep Relo
Name : gcc Relocations: (not relocatable)
[root@localhost gcc]# rpm -Uhv gcc-4.1.2-33.i386.rpm –prefix=$PWD
error: package gcc is not relocatable

Lets say you have this package from FC11:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q gcc
gcc-4.4.0-4.i586

But you have an source code that needs gcc-4.3 to compile or something lower.

So download lets say this: gcc-4.3.2-7.i386.rpm then:

mkdir newgcc && cd newgcc
download http://pathtogcc/gcc-4.3.2-7.i386.rpm
rpm2cpio gcc-4.3.2-7.i386.rpm | cpio -idv

Now you should have in newgcc/usr/bin/gcc.

Or download the gcc package you need from ftp://ftp.gnu.org and compile it with –prefix=$HOME/newgcc
