Install mercurial in centos 5.4

Mercurial is used when xen is installed in source code. Google has been around for a long time, focusing on source code installation, and then two simple methods.
1. Download source code

[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] wget http://mercurial.selenic.com/release/mercurial-1.4.1.tar.gz

2. Compile and install

[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] # Make all

[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] # make install-home

3. Installation check

[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] Hg debuginstall

Abort: Couldn't find mercurial libraries in...

[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] export pythonpath =$ {home}/lib/Python

Run Hg debuginstall again.
[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] # Hg debuginstall

No username supplied (see "Hg help config ")
(Specify a username in your. hgrc file)
1 problems detected, please check your install!

This is because of the configuration file. In the source code, the contrib folder provides a sample. hgrc, which can be copied and modified.

[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] # cd contrib/
[Root @ localhost contrib] # cp sample. hgrc/root/. hgrc
[Root @ localhost contrib] # Vim/root/. hgrc

Here we will change it:

### Show changed files and be a bit more verbose if true

# Verbose = true

### Username data to appear in comits
### It usually takes the form: Joe User <joe.user@host.com>

Username = zhuliting <zhuliting@example.com> // modify this row only.

### --- Extensions

[Note] When the configuration file is modified incorrectly, run Hg debuginstall.
Hg: config error at/root/. hgrc: 12: 'username = Joe who <j.user@example.com>'

Run Hg debuginstall again. The prompt will be displayed.
[Root @ localhost contrib] # Hg debuginstall

Run Hg.
[Root @ localhost contrib] # Hg

Mercurial has been installed successfully. The next time you use the Hg command, you must first set
[Root @ localhost mercurial-1.4.1] export pythonpath =$ {home}/lib/Python
You can also create a soft link.

[Note] other simple installation methods:
1. When installing the software, if it is only a simple application, you can install the compiled Binary Package, that is, yum install mercurial. My centos 5.4 version can also be successfully installed, but it won't work for the first few times. You can install rpmforge first.
[Root @ localhost ~] # Wget ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/dag/redhat/el5/en/i386/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
[Root @ localhost ~] # Rpm-uvh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

Then Yum install mercurial
