Any advice on installing autoconf? I try to search for instructions and I keep finding the yum install command which I don't have.

Hi GrrrlRomeo,

You need to install yum and then use the yum command to install autoconf:

Code:
rpm -ivh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.6/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/yum-2.0.8-2.centos3.noarch.rpm
yum upgrade

and then

Code:
yum install autoconf

to add autoconf on your server.

I hope this helps.

Hey, thanks. I already contacted dedicatedchat and they helped me out. Really the best tech support experience I think I've ever had. LOL My previous VPS host gave me no support and cost twice as much, so I was thrilled.

I'll keep the yum upgrade in mind if I need to install anything else that can be done with yum.

ah seems I've hit a snag.

After running yum upgrade I get

Finding obsoleted packages
Resolving dependencies

    yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])

    self._read(readsize)

    uncompress = self.decompress.decompress(buf)
MemoryError

And now it seems it won't let go of the memory allocated to it. That's why privvmpages is maxed out.

I would recommend to stop memory hungry applications before running yum then.
