[PlanetCCRMA] which Centos5 distro to use?

[Donald Steven]

Tom,

I'll leave it to others to speak to Centos5, but I can share that I've 
got CCRMA at Home working perfectly on the newly released Centos 7.  The 
key is that Centos 7 is built mostly on Fedora 19 and everything I've 
installed so far from CCRMA for Fedora 19 and Fedora 19 itself work fine.

Here's how:

1.  Make sure epel is installed.  It's best also to add atrpms and 
nux-dextop as they may be necessary for some codecs.  Make sure that 
these .repos are not enabled and only enable them on the command line 
when necessary.

====

2.  Add the following .repos to /etc/yum.repos.d

[ccrma-core]
name=CCRMA Core Fedora 19 - x86_64
baseurl=http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/19/x86_64/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

[ccrma]
name=CCRMA Fedora 19 - x86_64
baseurl=http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetccrma/19/x86_64/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

[fedora]
name=Fedora 19 - x86_64
baseurl=http://mirror.umd.edu/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/x86_64/os/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

NOTE: if the 
http://mirror.umd.edu/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/x86_64/os/ 
link doesn't work, choose another mirror.

====

3.  For CCRMA core apps: # yum install --enablerepo=ccrma-core 
--enablerepo=fedora nameofapp
     For CCRMA apps: # yum install --enablerepo=ccrma 
--enablerepo=fedora nameofapp
     For Fedora apps (eg. audacity): yum install --enablerepo=fedora 
nameofapp

====

That's it!  Hope it's helpful.

Don
