Hi,
Here's what I have:
Linux host 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
Here's what I did:
# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm
# cd /usr/local/src/jabberd-2.0s2
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
Here's what happened:
checking for MySQL in the standard places... no
checking for MySQL in /usr/include/mysql and /usr/lib... no
checking for MySQL in /usr/local... no
checking for MySQL in /usr/include/mysql and /usr/lib/mysql... no
checking for MySQL in /usr/local/include/mysql and
/usr/local/lib/mysql... no
checking for MySQL in /usr/local/include/mysql and /usr/local/lib... no
checking for MySQL in /sw/include/mysql and /sw/lib... no
configure: error: Could not find MySQL
Looks to me like:
1. The RPM supplied from a MySQL mirror doesn't know where its standard
installation place is located
2. The Jabber configuration script doesn't know where the default
location is for a standard RPM
3. I need to read more documentation. ;-)
Is there a *SIMPLE* piece of documentation which shows how to install
Jabber, step-by-step, command-by-command, using MySQL on a fresh OS
install of a Linux OS? I'm not looking for big tables showing me
feature sets, I don't want to have to create accounts (after all, if I
run the configuration script under root, it'd have the privs to do so
for me). All I want to know is what to type for a basic installation.
Even if it's just:
1) Download MySQL 4.0 (or greater) from MySQL.org in .tar.gz format into
/usr/local/src
2) cd /usr/local/src
3) gunzip MySQL*.tar.gz
4) tar xf MySQL*.tar
5) cd mysql*
6) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
7) make && make install
8) cd /usr/local/src
9) Download Jabber 2.0 (or greater) into /usr/local/src
10) gunzip jabber*.tar.gz
11) tar xf jabber*.tar
12) cd jabber*
13) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
14) make && make install
15) jabberd
This is like the 80/20 solution -- it's not much work to list 15 lines
of text to type, but if it'll get 80% of the people up and running
within 15 minutes of downloading, then perhaps it's worth posting such
simple instructions at the top of the documentation's installation section?
Now I'm about to try the above, which will be my fourth attempt at
installing Jabber 2 on an RedHat Enterprise Linux system. If it doesn't
work, where should I go for more information?
Thanks!
Dave
