Making array of string with bash
in.txt
Code:
libgstreamer
gstreamer-0_10
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good
gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base

Output should be:
Code:
libgstreamer gstreamer-0_10 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good gstreamer0_10-plugins-base

Then:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
v=(libgstreamer gstreamer-0_10 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good gstreamer0_10-plugins-base)
<package-management-tool> install ${v}

<package-management-tool> may be yum/apt-get etc.

Do you need that "v" array for anything else? Cause it can be safely ommited:
Code:
<package-management-tool> install $(awk -vORS=" " '1' in.txt)

#!/bin/bash
<package-management-tool> install $(awk -vORS=" " '1' in.txt)

Will work.
