It seems to be extremely difficult to install xdotool
on CentOS because of it's requirements. such as
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' -y
yum install libXi-devel libXtst-devel libXinerama-devel -y
the top one especially is difficult to move to a folder and install
locally. ( without internet ). ( for extra speed ).
Currently I have to run those two commands and then I have to run these
in order to install xdotool
on CentOS Linux.
cat > /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF"
/usr/local/lib
EOF
# rm -rf xdotool-2.20110530.1
# tar -xvf xdot*
cd xdot*
make install
I tried adding epel
and rpmforge
repos to my yum and then I searched for xdotool
nothing was found.
I was wondering if there is a known rpm version so that installing it would be simple on CentOS Linux.

Looking closer into it. It looks like xdotool is provided by the nux dextop repository:
