Hi, I am new to puppet as well, but I could tell you how to do a similar install.
exec { "getthesource": command => "wget http://thesourceurl", cwd => "/the/directory/to/issue/this/command/from" } exec { "untarthesource": command => "the_untar_command", cwd => "the/directory/to/issue/this/command/from", require => Exec["getthesource"] } exec { "./configure": command => "the/directory/to/issue/this/command/from/configure", cwd => "as above", require => Exec["untarthesource"] } And the other steps follow in a similar manner.. You should probably check the exec resource type in the type reference. ............. But, I think this is not the most elegant way of doing it... There is the package resource type in puppet which can be used to install packages from binaries, but yes, I haven't found another way to install from source. 2009/6/25 Neil K <sate...@gmail.com> > > Thank you for your replies.
