Linux – How to upgrade Scientific Linux 6.3 to 6.6

linuxredhat-enterprise-linuxscientific-linuxyum

I am upgrading Scientific Linux 6.3 to 6.6

I have to update machines of Scientific Linux 6.3 to 6.6. I tried #yum list updates and
.# yum update

It downloaded some files and installed. But my Scientific Linux is still showing Scientific Linux 6.3.

.#yum list updates returns "Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit,security".

Doing the same worked fine in Red Hat Linux.

When you run into these kind of problem yum whatprovides is the answer:

$ sudo yum whatprovides libXext.so.6
Loaded plugins: protect-packages, protectbase, rhnplugin, security
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
libXext-1.0.1-2.1.i386 : X.Org X11 libXext runtime library
Repo        : rhel-x86_64-server-5
Matched from:
Other       : libXext.so.6



libXext-1.0.1-2.1.i386 : X.Org X11 libXext runtime library
Repo        : installed
Matched from:
Other       : Provides-match: libXext.so.6

So you need to install libXext.

Linux – Installing setuptools for python 2.7.3 on SL6 returns an error that I don’t have zlib. But I do

I found the answer from another stackoverflow user.

Basically you can just copy zlib pre gcc'd from 2.6 to 2.7:

cp /usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-dynload/zlibmodule.so /usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/zlibmodule.so

Still hackish though.
