I was looking to Install LibreOffice 5.1/5.0 on …CentOS, discovering this website: if-not-true-then-false.com
A genius. Who picked that name is a genius 🙂

Hugin on Centos 7
To update corporate website and for a EcoMondo I had to stitch some photos I’ve made a couple of weeks ago. As usual I wanted to use Hugin.
yum install hugin told me that my new Centos 7 machine don’t have it. Ok, let’s search for a proper repo. Too bad there isn’t.
Ok, let’s do it the old way: recompiling it from sources.
That’s a small log of me following the path hinted at on Hugin Compiling Fedora – PanoTools.org Wiki
Note: I’ve finally renounced. Too many unmet dependencies, too many unsolved parts. CentOS is a server distribution and I won’t mess it just to use Hugin. I would rather run something more “pliable” as a virtual machine
CompilingIf you want to compile hugin yourself, just follow the instructions in the INSTALL_cmake file, you will need these development RPM packages (April 2013): libpano13-devel zlib-devel libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel gettext-devel wxGTK-devel boost-devel cmake desktop-file-utils OpenEXR-devel gcc-c++ exiv2-devel glew-devel freeglut-devel mesa-libGLU-devel libXmu-devel wxPython tclap-devel python-devel swig flann-devel lensfun-devel perl-podlators (needed for fedora 19 and above)
Weirdness
One feels smart, he has written a nice DVD of CentOS 7 to be installed on his shiny new box.
Have you noticed something strange and silly in the above photo? Continue reading
Printers
Richard Stallman back in the late ’70 were compelled to start GNU project because he cannot hack the firmware of a prototype of a laser printer.
Fourty years later people using software libero still quarrel with printers. Me for example…. on the previous (Ubuntu) box I was able to smoothly use that printer. Now Centos keeps arguing that the printer has low black ink (true!) and that there’s no paper (wrong!).
The mysteries of software libero…. 🙂
