Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Having troubles with 3.2.5 (unofficial) RPMs

Collapse
Posted by Troy Bradley on
I downloaded a bunch of RPMS as mentioned on Jonathon's (?) site,
which says they will work on a Linux box running RH 7.1 _without_
postgresql or aolserver. (The RPMs include both.)

I then noticed that my RH 7.1 box had Pg 7.0 installed, so I
uninstalled it and tried my best to remove anything that relied on
any of it (some devel stuff that I may someday learn to use, etc.)

So now I am trying to install OpenACS 3.2.5, AOLserver (latest), and
Pg 7.1 from the RPMs I downloaded earlier.

My problem is dependencies. I have a libxml RPM file for AOLserver,
but it needs libhistory.so.3 and libreadline.so.3. A search for
these on google turns up readline and glibc 2.2.3 as a possible
solution from linuxppc. I have added these to the list of RPMs, but
now get a much longer list of conflicts and more instances of
libhistory.so.3 and libreadline.so.3 being needed by the various
packages.

I've read the documentation, but seem to be missing something. Could
have something to do with the fact that it is now 1am, but I'd
appreciate pointers from anyone, as you all probably have more
experience than me.

Thanks,
