Install Package Name

I would like to use yum to install package , but how do I know the package name that I should use , for example , if I want to use ldapsearch , I tried "yum install ldapsearch" , it doesn't work , how can I know what package name to install , what package includes this command - "yum install packname" ?

thanks

I tried to install bluegriffon. Didn't work with apt-get install (error: unable to locate package bluegriffon).
I installed compiler (with apt-get install build-essential)
then I unpacked the "bluegriffon-1.7.2.Ubuntu13.04.x86_64.tar.bz2" that I downloaded from their website
then I changed to bluegriffon folder with the unpacked files and I tried to compile the package but the "./configure command" did not work (error : -su: ./configu No such file or directory)
What should I do now?

Ubuntu 14.10 runs great on my laptop but I think I have dependency problems because EVERY time I install or remove software I get the following error message. However everything seems to run just fine...

"Package operation failed"
"The installation or removal of a software package failed."

...and details shows a massive list of gobbledygook with a lot of:

"insserv: Starting vpnagentd_init depends on rc.local and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!"

I can post the whole message but I'll wait for feedback first.

I have the below URL

http://linoxide.com/ubuntu-how-to/awstats/

in this URL , it have the command "sudo a2enmod cgi" to check the cgi is installed or not , but when I run it , it pops "bash: a2enmod: command not found" , I tried to install it by yum install a2enmod" , but got the below message , would advise how to install it .
Code:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

hi guys,

sick of typing sudo yum install package

so i wrote...or rather am trying to right a simple script to do this
with a simple command:

heres what i have:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter package name to install..."
read $P
sudo yum install $P

it doesnt seem to want to take the variable...it just runs
sudo yum install ...$p is ignored...i also tried "$p" but this
doesnt work either...what is the correct syntax to get a command to read a variable...is this possible...aaaaaaah it must be.

Hello,

I am trying to install OCI8. I'm pretty sure the last thing I need to do is run the "./configure" command, but no matter where I try to run it, it gives me back a "file not found" or "command not found" error. I have tried this on CentOS and Fedora and always install PHP with yum. I have done many GUI searches looking through the file system for "php" and have tried to run ./configure in every php folder I can find but the command never runs. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks so much!

-Matt

P.S. Do I even need to do this if I already edited the "php.ini" file and installed OCI8 with PECL? Thanks!

So I extract an update to a package that creates one of the folders below and then I run "$(find . -name install.sh)" to find and install the update. It seems to go just fine. How? If the other versions were also there? Which install.sh gets run?

# find -name install.sh
./Program_5.1.8341.5506_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.0.8132.5459_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.2.8724.5567_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.1.8473.5522_Install/install.sh
