Can someone give directions on how to install PDFTK on CentOS 6, 64-bit? I have tried following the directions on this thread – http://community.webfaction.com/questions/5629/need-tips-on-installing-pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit - but the make and make install steps give me errors. If I try to build from source like the PDFTK install page (http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/install-pdftk/) explains, but it appears I'm missing libgcj. I try to install libgcj, and it says I'm missing libart_lgpl. I try to install that, and I get this error: "error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Permission denied)". I'm not used to using the RPM system, so any help is appreciated. asked 06 Aug '12, 10:33 mindsalt |
I was able to install the last library with the following,
I verified the build worked as I could find them in my ~/lib directory. The other libraries should build with similar methods. You will want to read our documentation on building software from source which covers how to tell the final build how to find the custom libraries. answered 31 Aug '12, 19:22 johns |
You can't install stuff from rpm's, since you don't have root access.
We're looking into a way to make the pdftk installation procedure work on CentOS6 and will post here (and update the original procedure) when we get it working.
Anyway progress on installing the pdftk on CentOS 6?
