I decided to try to do the source install of the latest version of Virtuoso Open Source on Ubuntu Lucid.
* This is different than installing *virtuoso-opensource* via the package manager. Following the default configuration using default path settings, I am getting virtuoso.ini in the following location /usr/local/virtuoso-opensource/var/lib/virtuoso/db/virtuoso.ini It is as if it is appending the path */var/lib/virtuoso/db/* to the assumed install location of */usr/local/virtuoso-opensource/* * * I am wondering if this is a bug in the installer script? Should I be using the following in my installation procedure? * ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource * It is also not clear to me if the Ubuntu lucid package will be updated to the new version or if it will stay at the previous version? For most users I think installation via the package manager would be much easier if if was possible to keep that up to date. Thanks! - Pete P.S. For the packaged version this is all that I needed to do to get virtuoso installed. sudo apt-get install virtuoso-opensource sudo apt-get install virtuoso-vad-doc sudo apt-get install virtuoso-vad-isparql sudo apt-get install virtuoso-vad-rdfmappers Then edit this file /etc/default/*virtuoso-opensource-6.0* so it reads this at the end # Set to 'yes' to start virtuoso, set to 'no' otherwise RUN=yes ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pete DeVries Department of Entomology University of Wisconsin - Madison 445 Russell Laboratories 1630 Linden Drive Madison, WI 53706 GeoSpecies Knowledge Base About the GeoSpecies Knowledge Base ------------------------------------------------------------
