The last Rivendell install I did on CentOS 6 from scratch was RD 2.2.0.

My notes say that id3lib needed to be compiled from source, and that a patch was necessary for version 3.8.3.

My complete notes are as follows (sorry for the terseness):

mysql mysql-server (xterm) kernel-devel gcc gcc-c++ (nano) (rsync) make libcurl-devel libid3tag-devel libsamplerate-devel libmad-devel flac-devel alsa-lib-devel qt3 qt3-devel qt3-MySQL libtool libtool-devel auttoconf automake libvorbis-devel libvorbis libogg-devel libogg libsndfile libsndfile-devel cdparanoia-devel cdparanoia-libs (seahorse) pam-devel (vino) (lynx)

uname -r

ln -s /usr/src/kernels/whatever \
  /lib/modules/whatever

soundtouch: install from source. ./acolocal ./autoconf ./automake -a ./autoreconf -i

id3lib: install from source. Needs patch.

lame: install from source

twolame: install from source

alsa-firmware: install from source (for vx222 sound card)

gpio: install from source

hpklinux: install from source

libmad: install from source

madplay: install from source

mpg321: install from source

config.ac: comment out AC_FUNC_MALLOC

aclocal ./autoconf

--disable-aotest

In ao.c: comment out:
/*      format.matrix = "L,R"; */
(two occurrences)

ln -s /usr/lib/libXi.so.6.1.0 /usr/lib/libXi.so

ln -s /usr/lib/libXmu.so.6.2.0 /usr/lib/libXmu.so

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmad.so.0 /usr/lib/libmad.so.0

Dear All,

Been toying around with installing the latest and greatest Rivendell 2.5.2 from 
source  and was trying to use
CentOS 6 as my OS, but have started running into a bunch of problems and issues 
(Id3lib not working for example) so cannot configure. Looking on here there 
seems to be other issues with CentOS 6 as well. Not married to CentOS but was 
looking at it since Fred was using it for development and we will need to go to 
something eventually when we upgrade (running a really old version here).

Since this isn't a 64 bit machine the Broadcast Appliance  wasn't an option 
(and I'm not sure the appliance would work for us anyway since we have some 
specific pam stuff that we run with... I supposed I could dig up a 64 bit 
machine..but anyway)

I wondered if anyone else had any experience or ideas in terms of CentOS 
installs. Better versions, fixes patches etc.

Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
