AtomSQL - Simple Database Query Language for RDBMS & NoSQL Systems

AtomSQL came from the frustration of working too much with RDBMS systems and typing too much to get the necessary data from the Databases.

This post is an introduction to AtomSQL

Lets go through the following examples to see how we use SQL queries normally and in AtomSQL Format.

1. Create a new table

BEFORE:

CREATE TABLE myTable (id INTEGER PRIMARYKEY, name VARCHAR(255) ENGINE=INNODB

AFTER:

myTable { id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255) } ENGINE=INNODB

So, what has changed ???

We just got rid of the keywords and are letting the {} do the necessary JOB.

TIP: Remember C/C++ Structures ?

2. Inserting new records to the table

Before:

INSERT INTO myTable VALUES (1, 'Tom'), (2, 'Jerry')

After:

myTable = [ (1, 'Tom'), (2, 'Jerry') ]

Again, We use () for Tuples and [] for Array representation to get the job done. Keywords have gone away !
TIP: Remember JSON, Perl Arrays ?

3. Updating records

Before

UPDATE myTable SET name = 'Jerry Mouse' Where name = 'Jerry'

After

myTable /name = 'Jerry Mouse'/ (name = 'Jerry')

Again, we are using // for replacing data and () are used for condition to be used in WHERE Clause
TIP: Remember perl, sed, vim for data replacement ?

4. Deleting records

Before

DELETE FROM myTable Where name = 'Jerry'

After

! myTable (name = 'Jerry')

! Bang is the operator for destroying stuff. () is used for WHERE Clause

5. Seleting Records

Before

SELECT * from myTable where name != 'Jerry'

After

myTable <*> (name != 'Jerry')

<> is used for Column selection and () is used for WHERE clause

More Features/Limitations/Installation can be read from http://nareshv.github.io/atomsql/

Configure HHVM with Apache + FastCGI on Centos 6.5

On centos you can run regular fastcgi processes with mod_fcgid package. In order to communicate with HHVM over TCP/IP you need to install mod_fastcgi which is available elsewhere on the internet.

 Follow these instructions to use apache + fastcgi with hhvm.

0. Pre-requisites

Make sure you add the following to /etc/hosts on your server where you are going to use curl/browser

127.0.0.1 test.example.com

1. Install httpd-devel packages

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install httpd-devel -y

2. Download mod_fastcgi

 [root@localhost ~]# wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz

3. Compile and install mod_fastcgi

Make sure to change the top_dir variable in the Makefile to centos specific like below or else package wont compile

top_dir      = /usr/lib64/httpd

[root@localhost ~]# tar zxf mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141.tar.gz 
[root@localhost ~]# cd mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141
[root@localhost mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141]# cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
[root@localhost mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141]# make
[root@localhost mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141]# make install

4. Start the hhvm server in fastcgi mode

[root@localhost ~]# /usr/bin/hhvm --mode server -vServer.Port=9000 -vServer.Type=fastcgi 
mapping self...
mapping self took 0'00" (34658 us) wall time
loading static content...
loading static content took 0'00" (3 us) wall time
page server started
all servers started

5. Create a dummy apache configuration file

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/1.conf 

    ServerName test.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost
    LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so
    FastCgiExternalServer /var/www/localhost -host 127.0.0.1:9000

[root@localhost ~]# 

6. Create document root and simple php file

mkdir -p /var/www/localhost && echo '<?php echo "hello world"; ?>' > /var/www/localhost/index.php

7. Start httpd from another terminal

[root@localhost ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using localhost.localdomain for ServerName
                                                           [  OK  ]

8. Fire a request and see that you get response from HHVM

 nareshv @ localhost $ curl http://test.example.com/index.php ; echo
hello world!
 nareshv @ localhost $
 nareshv @ localhost $ curl http://test.example.com/404.php ; echo
Not Found
 nareshv @ localhost $

9. Final configurations

Once you have proper working setup like above, create a configuration file for hhvm and run it in daemon mode.

Have Fun!

2. Setup PGDG Repository

[root@fallenangel ~]# yum install http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/fedora/fedora-19-x86_64/pgdg-fedora93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm -y
oaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, refresh-packagekit

Complete!

3. Install postgresql-9.3

[root@fallenangel ~]# yum install postgresql93-server -y

4. Initialize the Postgresql database

[root@fallenangel ~]#  su - postgres
-bash-4.2$ env PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/initdb
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

Data page checksums are disabled.

WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or
--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

    /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data
or
    /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data -l logfile start

-bash-4.2$ 

5. Start the postgresql server

[root@fallenangel ~]# service postgresql-9.3 start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  postgresql-9.3.service
[root@fallenangel ~]# 

6. Connect to the Server and create a test database

[root@fallenangel ~]# su - postgres
-bash-4.2$ createdb json

-bash-4.2$ psql json
psql (9.3.0)
Type "help" for help.

json=# create user json_user with password 'json_password';
CREATE ROLE
json=# grant all privileges on database json to json_user;
GRANT
json=# \q

7. Connect to the Server with newly created Username

[root@fallenangel ~]# psql -U json_user -d json
psql (9.3.0)
Type "help" for help.

8. Create a new table with JSON datatype in one of the columns

json=> create table "User" (
json(> id integer,
json(> details json
json(> );

CREATE TABLE
json=> insert into "User" (id, details) values (1, '{"uuid":1234, "name":"John Doe", "email": "John.Doe@acme.com", "status":"active"}');
INSERT 0 1

json=> insert into "User" (id, details) values (1, '{"uuid":1235, "name":"Tomcat", "email": "tomcat@acme.com", "status":"active", "phones":["+1 800 700 500", "+1 400 300 200"]}');
INSERT 0 1
json=> 

9. Now the SQL Queries using NoSQL dataset

1. Get the list of all UUIDs (embedded inside `details` column)

json=> select details->'uuid' as "uuid" from "User";
 uuid 
------
 1234
 1235
(2 rows)

2. Get the list of all Emails from "User" table

json=> select details->'email' as "email" from "User";
        email         
---------------------
 "John.Doe@acme.com"
 "tomcat@acme.com"
(2 rows)

3. Get the First Phone number (from the array of phones) from "User" table

json=> select details->'name' as "name", details->'phones'->0 as "uuid" from "User";
  name  |       uuid       
------------+------------------
 "John Doe" | 
 "Tomcat"   | "+1 800 700 500"
(2 rows)

Please be aware that JSON Implies UTF-8 Charset. There is no need to explicitly mention this.

More JSON functions in postgres-9.3 are available in this document.

LIMITATIONS: Currently, to update the column, we need to pass the entire json data instead of updating a single KEY inside JSON content.

For example, you might expect the following works, But it doesn't.

Update the 'name' key inside the json dataset.

json=> update "User" set details->'name' = 'John Doe II' where details->'name' = 'John Doe';

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "->"
LINE 1: update "User" set details->'name' = 'John Doe II' where deta..

It would be awesome if postgresql developers add such feature.

Installing docker.io on centos 6.4 (64-bit)

NOTES: epel has another package called docker (which is a KDE docking application and is not related to this). So, you will get an error performing these steps, if you have that package already installed.

UPDATE-1: Docker version-0.6.1 is released. Upgrade instructions are available here

UPDATE-2: Docker version-0.6.2 is released. 

Docker.io is the lightweight "container engine + image repository" built on top of LXC (linux lightweight containers) to ship any application.

At the core of docker.io there are

1.  an application "/usr/bin/docker" 
2.  set of pre-created operating-system/application images hosted with "docker.io"
3.  AUFS (Another Union filesystem) to take care of snapshots, diffs, ro/rw requirements
4. LXC (Linux lightweight containers)
5. cgroups (for resource management and namespacing)

As of writing this blog, the latest version is 0.5.3 . The project is actively being developed and things can change in near future.

Follow these instructions to get docker.io installed on your system.

0. Install centos 6.x

1. Disable selinux as it interferes with functionality of LXC

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/selinux/config 
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
#       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
#       strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

2. Download and setup Fedora EPEL Repository

sudo yum install http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

3. Setup hop5.in repository

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
sudo wget http://www.hop5.in/yum/el6/hop5.repo

4. Install docker-io package

[root@localhost ~]# yum install docker-io

5. See the package is installed correctly

[root@localhost ~]# docker -h
Usage of docker:
  -D=false: Debug mode
  -H=[unix:///var/run/docker.sock]: tcp://host:port to bind/connect to or unix://path/to/socket to use
  -api-enable-cors=false: Enable CORS requests in the remote api.
  -b="": Attach containers to a pre-existing network bridge. Use 'none' to disable container networking
  -d=false: Daemon mode
  -dns="": Set custom dns servers
  -g="/var/lib/docker": Path to graph storage base dir.
  -p="/var/run/docker.pid": File containing process PID
  -r=false: Restart previously running containers

6. Add cgroup filesystem to /etc/fstab , so that docker will work correctly

[root@localhost ~]# echo "none                    /sys/fs/cgroup          cgroup  defaults        0 0" >> /etc/fstab 

[root@localhost ~]# mount /sys/fs/cgroup

Per "Peter Zimmerman" a reboot is needed to actually mount /sys/fs/cgroup (due to the kernel doesn't have cgroup support). So, the above mount step is not really needed. As its used only upon reboot.

7. Reboot the system ; make sure to select "3.10.5-3.el6.x86_64" kernel version while booting.

8. Once system is up and running, make sure you are on right kernel

[root@localhost ~]# uname -r
3.10.5-3.el6.x86_64

Installing Go Lang 1.1 on centos 6.4 *64-bit

UPDATE: 28/Apr/2014 - Golang package is now available on Fedora EPEL Repository. You can just configure EPEL repo and do a "yum install golang".

I have added go-lang package to the current repository. So you can try installing it using the following steps.

1. Install centos 6.x

2. Download and setup Fedora EPEL Repository

sudo yum install http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

(Step-3 not needed, if you are seeing this on Apr/2014)

3. Setup hop5.in repository

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
sudo wget http://www.hop5.in/yum/el6/hop5.repo

4. Install go package

sudo yum install golang

5. Write a simple "hello world" program to get started with go

[nareshv@fallenangel tmp]$ cat hello.go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, World.")
}

[nareshv@fallenangel tmp]$ go run hello.go
Hello, World. 

6. Continue exploring go-lang, from here

(Note is not applicable if you are using golang from EPEL Repository)

Note: Please note that, go-lang is compiled without emacs support (to avoid pulling tons of packages) and with gcc-4.6.3.

Install TokuDB Mysql Server along with Existing mysql-server on Centos/Ubuntu Server

Tokudb has fractal tree engine which is mentioned to perform bettern than innodb in certain instances. In some scenarios you might want to run mysql-server which is patched with tokudb engine along with your current mysql server (for performance testing, evaluation etc).

A straightforward installation will mess up /var/lib/mysql, so follow these instructions to make sure that the server installation doesn't mess up existing installation.

1. Download and unzip the tokudb to /usr/local/

nareshv@fallenangel:~/Downloads$ sudo mv mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local$ sudo ln -s mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64 mysql
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local$ cd mysql
nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql$ ls -l
total 80

drwxrwxr-x  2 nareshv nareshv  4096 Apr 19 04:57 support-files

2. Install the mysqlserver to /usr/local/mysql (not /var/lib/mysql)

nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql$ sudo -u mysql ./scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --basedir=/usr/local/mysql

Installing MySQL system tables...
OK
Filling help tables...
OK

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h fallenangel password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr/local/mysql ; /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

Please report any problems with the /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysqlbug script!

3. Create a new startup script to launch mysqld on port 3307

nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$ sudo vi run.sh
#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/env MYSQL_HOME=/usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysqld --user=mysql \
    --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/mysqld.pid \
    --socket=/usr/local/mysql/mysqld.sock \
    --port=3307 \
    --basedir=/usr/local/mysql \
    --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data \
    --lc-messages-dir=/usr/local/mysql/share \
    --tmpdir=/tmp \
    --skip-external-locking \
    --bind-address=127.0.0.1 \

nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$

4. Run the mysql server in another terminal as root user

nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$ sudo ./run.sh

5. Connect and check if mysql is available on 3307 / 127.0.0.1

nareshv@fallenangel:/usr/local/mysql-5.5.30-tokudb-7.0.1-linux-x86_64$ mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3307

Building Facebook's HipHop on Fedora 15

Facebook has opensourced their Hiphop code transformer. Simply put Hiphop transforms your code written in PHP Language into Machine Language. So this post is mainly for PHP Developers and Others who want to get their hands dirty with Hiphop on Fedora 15.

Before you get started. Please visit the main home page of the hiphop Project itself.

On github you see the list of all the pre-requisites. First lets get our development environment ready.


Prerequisites.

You need a Fedora 15 64-bit installation. You need not install anything. Just install the Live CD and follow these steps to get the things done.

1. Install the Fedora Packager packages

[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# yum groupinstall "Fedora Packager"

2. Make sure you have git and c++ compiler

[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# yum install gcc-c++ git wget 

3. Install all the pre-requisites as mentioned in the hiphop wiki

[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# yum install zlib-devel   \
xorg-x11-devel   \
libXau-devel   \
libxcb-devel   \
libX11-devel   \
libXpm-devel   \

readline-devel   \
pam-devel   \
uw-imap-devel   \
systemtap-sdt   \
libaio-devel   \
mysql-devel   \
jemalloc-devel

4. Now we have to build libevent-1.4 and curl packages on our own as facebook has made some patches to those packages.

5. Lets create the environment for building the packages

6. Create workspace for checking out the hiphop source code.

[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# cd $HOME/
[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# mkdir -p $HOME/dev/hiphop/ $HOME/dev/hiphop/usr
[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop

7. Checkout the hiphop source code

[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/ && git clone git://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php.git

8. Download curl and libevent for building locally

[root@nareshv-build64 ~]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop]# wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.20.0.tar.bz2
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop]# wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.13-stable.tar.gz

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop]# tar jxf curl-7.20.0.tar.bz2
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop]# tar zxf libevent-1.4.13-stable.tar.gz

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop]# cd libevent-1.4.13-stable
[root@nareshv-build64 libevent-1.4.13-stable]# cp ../hiphop-php/src/third_party/libevent-1.4.13.fb-changes.diff .
[root@nareshv-build64 libevent-1.4.13-stable]# patch < libevent-1.4.13.fb-changes.diff

[root@nareshv-build64 libevent-1.4.13-stable]# export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/dev/hiphop/usr
[root@nareshv-build64 libevent-1.4.13-stable]# make
[root@nareshv-build64 libevent-1.4.13-stable]# make install
[root@nareshv-build64 libevent-1.4.13-stable]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop]# cd curl-7.20.0
[root@nareshv-build64 curl-7.20.0]# cp ../hiphop-php/src/third_party/libcurl.fb-changes.diff .
[root@nareshv-build64 curl-7.20.0]# patch -p0 < libcurl.fb-changes.diff

# While applying patch, it will ask for which file to patch. Type in the names without the .new and .old paths. 
# Example: include/curl/multi.h and 
# Example: lib/multi.c
# After this, patch will be applied correctly.

[root@nareshv-build64 curl-7.20.0]# ./configure --prefix=$HOME/dev/hiphop/usr/
[root@nareshv-build64 curl-7.20.0]# make
[root@nareshv-build64 curl-7.20.0]# make install
[root@nareshv-build64 curl-7.20.0]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/

9. Now get ready to build hiphop itself

[root@nareshv-build64 curl-7.20.0]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/hiphop-php
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/dev/hiphop/usr/
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# git submodule init
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# git submodule update
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# export HPHP_HOME=`pwd`
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# export HPHP_LIB=`pwd`/bin
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# cmake .
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# make

10. You will encounter some errors related to 'c-client version should be higher than 2007'.

On fedora the package is called libc-client and libc-client-devel and the includes are present in /usr/include/imap/ folders.

Lets adjust the CMakeCache.txt like this.

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/hiphop-php/
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# vim CMakeCache.txt

 71 //Path to a file.CCLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH:PATH=CCLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH-NOTFOUND
 72 CCLIENT_INCLUDE_PATH:PATH=/usr/include/imap/
 73 
 74 //Path to a library.CCLIENT_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=CCLIENT_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND
 75 CCLIENT_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libc-client.so.2007

11. Build again.

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/hiphop-php/
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# cmake .
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# make

12. Now it will fail at mysql related references like this

[ 88%] Building CXX object src/hphp/CMakeFiles/hphp.dir/externals.cpp.o

After investigating for a couple of hours. found that this issue is related to the way mysql rpm is built in fedora distribution. Somehow i managed to overcome this problem by doing the following things.

12.1 Download the mysql .src.rpm from koji

I went to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=268920

and downloaded the following .src.rpm

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/mysql/5.5.16/3.fc17/src/mysql-5.5.16-3.fc17.src.rpm

12.2 Install the .src.rpm as 'fedora' user (It can be root also. I did it as fedora user. But you got the point)

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# rpm -Uvh mysql-5.5.16-3.fc17.src.rpm

12.3 Update the libmysql.version file

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# cd /home/fedora/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
[root@nareshv-build64 SOURCES]# ls

12.5 Install the RPM Files happily

[root@nareshv-build64 SOURCES]# yum install /home/fedora/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/mysql-libs-5.5.16-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm \
/home/fedora/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/mysql-5.5.16-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm \
/home/fedora/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/mysql-devel-5.5.16-3.fc15.x86_64.rpm -y --nogpg

13. Now build hiphop again

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# cd $HOME/dev/hiphop/hiphop-php/
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# gmake clean
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# cmake .
[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# make

14. You should have the binary created

[root@nareshv-build64 hiphop-php]# src/hphp/hphp -h | head
Error in command line: unknown option -h\n\n
HipHop Compiler for PHP Usage:

 hphp  

Options:
  --help                         display this message
  --version                      display version number
  -t [ --target ] arg (=run)     lint | analyze | php | cpp | sep-ext-cpp | 
                                 filecache | run (default)
  -f [ --format ] arg            lint: (none); 

15. Now continue with the rest of the tutorial on how to get your code compiled in the main hiphop project page itself.

Node.js on Fedora 15

Since currently there is no easy way to install node.js via yum repository. Here is how you can quickly get the node.js installed on your fedora-15 box

1. Install fedora packager rpms (as root)

[nareshv@localhost SRPMS]$ sudo yum groupinstall "Fedora Packager"

2. Create the setup environment for building RPM (for non-root users)

[nareshv@localhost ~]$ rpmdev-setuptree

3. Download the SRPM (as nonroot)

[nareshv@localhost ~]$ cd rpmbuild/SRPMS/
[nareshv@localhost SRPMS]$ ls
[nareshv@localhost SRPMS]$ wget http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/SRPMS/nodejs-0.4.1-1.el6.src.rpm

2011-06-29 22:19:03 (444 KB/s) - nodejs-0.4.1-1.el6.src.rpm

4. Install the dependencies for the RPM (as root)

[nareshv@localhost SRPMS]$ sudo yum install openssl-devel v8-devel c-ares-devel \
                                       libev-devel libeio-devel http-parser-devel \
                                       waf libgpg-error-devel \
                                       libstdc++-devel gcc-c++ -y

5. Build the RPM (as non-root)

[nareshv@localhost SRPMS]$ rpmbuild --rebuild nodejs-0.4.1-1.el6.src.rpm
