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!
