installation - Install plzip on Redhat Enterprise Linux Server -


i'm new linux when yum install doesn't work, i'm lost. found files online plzip don't know how install program files.

to install plzip have download source code in tarball, uncompress , compile it. (usually: ./configure; make; make install) rhel rpm based life easier (for now) if stick what's available in rpm or in fact shipped distribution.

if i'm not mistaken want use multiple threads compress data. if on rhel 5 or 6 should have xz available you:

yum install xz 

from wikipedia:

xz utils (previously lzma utils) set of free command-line lossless data compressors, including lzma , xz, unix-like operating systems and, version 5.0 onwards, microsoft windows.

from man xz

description xz general-purpose data compression tool command line syntax similar gzip(1) , bzip2(1). native file format .xz format, legacy .lzma format , raw compressed streams no container format headers supported.

in other words implementation of lempel-zif-markov algorithm , far popular tool use 7zip. read more can visit great wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lempel%e2%80%93ziv%e2%80%93markov_chain_algorithm

the other option use pbzip - available in rpm: http://compression.ca/pbzip2/ , looks of things might make rhel 1 day...
