[Opendnssec-develop] Dependencies & stock distributions

[Rick Zijlker]

Hello,

 

I also had a little trouble installing on Red Hat because of lacking the newest versions, but after some days (I’m a newbie linux user) I got RC1 to work on Red Hat 5.4. Used the following versions:

Rubygems 1.3.5

DNSruby 1.41

SQLite 3.4.2

Ldns 1.6.3

Botan 1.8.8

4Suite-XML 1.0.2

OpenDNSSEC-1.0.0RC1 tarball

SoftHSM-1.1.1 tarball 

 

Installed these with Yum:

Libxml2

Libxml2-devel

Gcc-c++

Ruby

Ruby-rdoc

Python-devel

 

Hopefully this amount will shrink and version-refreshing will settle a bit in the future versions.

 

Cheers,

Rick

I can use the packages ruby 1.8.6, sqlite 3.4.2, rubygems 0.9.4, and python-4suite-xml 1.0.2 from Ubuntu 8.0.4.

I can use the packages autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10.1, and m4 1.4.10 from Ubuntu 8.0.4

 

(Everyone needs these in order to build from trunk. This applies to many open source projects.)

Yes, they will be whenever a package maintainer decides to package OpenDNSSEC.

Yes, they should.

My conclusion for Ubuntu 8.0.4 is that I have to build from source for ldns, dnsruby, and botan. What versions of the other software do you have in RHEL as a RPM? 

 

Could you add some notes on RHEL to our wiki?
