I'm not familiar enough with centos/rhel to know how old/new a particular version is, but... back about a decade ago when I was still on the rpm- based mandrake, I used to use rpmfind for rpms not yet available in my distro. My experience was that I could use rpms created for other distros as long as I chose the correct arch (i586 or x86_64 or whatever), and was willing to install updated libraries, etc, if the new rpm required them as dependencies. rpmfind is still around, and lists x86_64 pan-0.139 rpms for a number of Fedora (rawhide, 19, 18), OpenSuSE (factory, 12.3) and Mageia (cauldron, 3) distro releases. Presumably if you're still on 32-bit, you can change the arch accordingly and get a working rpm, but be aware that with 32-bit some distros will use i386, others i586 or i686, so you might want to search for each or simply leave the arch blank (tho then you'll get ppc and etc hits as well). However, note that 64-bit pan is definitely recommended if you're going to be using pan on large (millions of posts) groups, as 32-bit pan is known to run into the standard 32-bit 2-gig-per-process memory limit for such groups, and 64-bit pan won't have that problem, tho you may simply run out of memory. If you're willing to go with something earlier than pan-0.139 in ordered to get more directly RHEL/CentOS compatible packages, I see 0.135, 0.134 and 0.133 listed, DAG packages for Red Hat Linux el6, which should be centos 6 compatible tho I don't know about the minor release version (centos 6.4). Personally, I'd try the pan-0.139 fedora 18/19 packages first, as they're current pan version and fedora being red hat family... Here's the general rpm find pan search link. You can set arch and otherwise modify the search from there. (I just used firefox's search in page function to find 0.139 versions, etc.) http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pan -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
