How to install libgdiplus on CentOS 7?

Question

I need to install libgdiplus on CentOS 7. The application which I am running needs this package.

I was able to install it on Ubuntu, by using following command:

sudo apt-get install libgdiplus

But when I run following command on CentOS, it says package not found.

sudo yum install libgdiplus

Solution 1

You can search such packages using:

• yum whatprovides libgdiplus

The output shows: libgdiplus-2.10-9.el7.x86_64 : An Open Source implementation of the GDI+ API.

Then, you can run: yum install -y libgdiplus-2.10-9.el7.x86_64

As @Knud Larsen mentioned; you need to install EPEL packages repository previously. To do so, you can run:

yum install -y epel-release

Solution 2

libgdiplus and libgdiplus-devel : Both are in the most commonly used extra repo for EL7 : epel.repo → "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux"

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-8.noarch.rpm'

IIRC Centos now ships with the initial Meta-RPM for EPEL, so sudo yum install epel-release should do it.
