I would guess that the dependencies on RHEL4 are not significantly different than RHEL5. Use that first document I sent the pointer to along with the excellent rpm search stuff on http://rpm.pbone.net/ and you should be able to get all the necessary prerequisites without too much trouble.
You know there's a script in the utils directory, fo-installdeps, which can be helpful in pointing out the rpms you need to install even if it's not able to install the dependencies directly. -- Chan Channing Benson Open Source / Linux R&D Hewlett-Packard Company (610) 328-3691 ________________________________ From: Gordon, Lyndon-Michael [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 7:29 PM To: Benson, Channing D Subject: RE: ? | Fossology RPM I would agree with you on that one, but the problem is that I am on a contained RHEL4 base configuration. Step-up to RHEL5 has to wait until CM process inches forward. Working to try to solve all the dependencies is problematic at best, but I'm still trying. Thanks for the information.

Current plans are for an RPM for RHEL5 and *maybe* one for RHEL4. Exact date of availability is uncertain. My best advice to you to get running is to use the instructions in the INSTALL file along with the comments I made from my experience installing on RHEL5 (see http://fossology.org/pipermail/fossology/2009-January/000687.html and http://fossology.org/pipermail/fossology/2009-January/000693.html). -- Chan Channing Benson Open Source / Linux R&D Hewlett-Packard Company (610) 328-3691 ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gordon, Lyndon-Michael Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 6:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FOSSology] ? | Fossology RPM I am behind a FW, and stuck on an older RHEL. I already see errors from dependencies with yum. How long do you think before an RPM will be available? Any info is greatly appreciated, as I am a novice and wanted to try your product. Mike
