Every once in a while I find myself trying to install something, but not knowing what package contains it.
# yum install g++ Setting up Install Process No package g++ available. Error: Nothing to do
But if you’re using a modern version of yum (i.e. that of RHEL 6 or Fedora) then you can simply tell it to install the program you’re looking for.
# yum install /usr/bin/g++ Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package gcc-c++.x86_64 0:4.4.6-3.el6 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved
