I don't think I hit the same wall your admin did, but that doesn't mean
much. Here are the steps I recorded. If I recall, I did this twice, once
on a 32-bit CentOS and once on a 64-bit. I also tried more than one
version of dbxml. It's a shame I didn't write down why I was doing all
this and why I set it aside :-). I may have decided to wait until FeSL was
a bit further along ....
Anyway, the applicable excerpt from my notes:
Fedora 3.3 installation
1. In a terminal, gain root privileges
2. Be sure gcc-c++ is installed (“yum install gcc-c++”)
3. Download and install the latest JDK
a. Chmod +x the rpm bin installer
b. Run the installer, something like: sh ./jdk-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin
4. Install Oracle BerkeleyDB XML (for FeSL)
a. Download version 2.5.13 from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html
b. Extract archive (you should have gotten something like
dbxml-2.5.13.tar.gz)
c. On the top level folder, enter:
sh buildall.sh --enable-java --prefix=/usr/dbxml-2.5.13
--with-berkeleydb-prefix=/usr/dbxml-2.5.13
--with-dbxml-prefix=/usr/dbxml-2.5.13
NOTE: I *think* the dbxml-2.5.13 package include db 4.8.24, which it
needs. You may need to finagle stuff to get the dbxml library to find the
right db library. FeSL requires. (e.g., ldconfig -X).
5. In /etc/profile, set environment variables for Java, Fedora, etc.:
a. JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21
b. FEDORA_HOME=/usr/fedora
c. CATALINA_HOME=${FEDORA_HOME}/tomcat
d. DBXML_HOME=/usr/dbxml-2.5.13
e. LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${DBXML_HOME }/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
f. Add the variables to the (an) export statement
g. Add the following pathmunge statements:
i. pathmunge $JAVA_HOME/bin
ii. pathmunge $FEDORA_HOME/server/bin
iii. pathmunge $FEDORA_HOME/client/bin
I'll shoot you an email directly when I get back on the object policies
thing again. Won't be too long .... just at the tail end of a
quick-and-dirty proof-of-concept getting Joomla and Omeka to talk to
Fedora with a library of classes I built for Drupal and its going pretty
smoothly, so a few days ....
