It currently doesn't exist a .rpm or .deb package for Invenio. It is instead provided as is, in the form of a .tar.gz package (for stable releases). The ./configure script by default will install invenio under /opt/invenio, so that it will not clutter the filesystem, and conflict with other pre-existing package managers (such as yum/rpm for RHEL). > They were also wondering if anyone has tested Invenio on RHEL6. At CERN we are using it on production on SLC5 which is a derivative of RHEL5. See also: <http://invenio-software.org/wiki/Installation/InvenioOnSLC5> Most of us, developers are instead running it on our private laptop using latest Ubuntu 11.4. (instead if you take the INSTALL file this is referring to latest Debian). With respect to Ubuntu the only package, if I recall correctly, that is not directly available is pyRXP. This is highly recommended (for performance reasons) but is not mandatory. MySQLdb is mandatory and is *the* Python module for interacting with MySQL. You might find it under the name of MySQL-python in RHEL6. CLisp might be found (if not already in RHEL6) under EPEL6 (i.e. the community maintained repositories). In general you can search for compatible packages using the service: <http://rpmfind.net/> > Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Hope this helps. Other users/developers on the mailing list might give you more information with respect to RHEL6 (and derivatives).
