Unless gearman actually requires root access (unlikely), you should be able to install this program using something like this:

tar xzf gearmand-X.Y.tar.gz
cd gearmand-X.Y
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make
make install

Note the added "--prefix=$HOME" passed to the configure command. This will configure the software to run from your home directory instead of from the system-wide shared program directories. Essentially, there's not much of a difference between these two. The only real difference is that you have permission to create new files in your home directory, but not to create files in directories that are far outside of it and are shared by all users on the machine.

For more details on compiling and installing software in general into your home directory, take a look at our home-install guide. Hope that helps!

what about the php-extension?!

You can't add PHP extensions to the existing PHP so you'll need to build PHP and Apache from scratch in your home directory.

oh, thanks. I don't need apache, so I will just try compiling php myself. :)

I'm getting this error while running the ./configure script "configure: error: cannot find Boost headers version >= 1.37.0"

Than you will have to build the boost library too, http://www.boost.org/

Building Gearman 0.2.0

first update the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_INCLUDE_PATH

export LD_INCLUDE_PATH=$HOME/include:$LD_INCLUDE_PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
then build libevent
then build boost (may be terminated half way due to excessive memory consumption)
Lastly, build gearman
Location of the tools

gearmand is at ~/sbin

gearadmin is at ~/bin

Is it possible to install gearman?
