Linux RPMS
Install the following rpms (needed by various parts of DocDB). This list is for
Redhat Enterprise Linux. Other linux versions may vary somewhat. Also, keep in
mind that perl modules can also be installed with the CPAN module.
- MySQL rpms if you will have a local database
- mysql-devel
- mysql-server
- mysql
- mysql-client (RedHat 7.x only)
- MySQL rpms if the database is located on another machine
- mysql
- mysql-client (RedHat 7.x only)
- libdbi
- libdbi-dbd-mysql
- libdbi-devel
- macutils (optional, not used yet)
- zip (optional)
- shared-mime-info (available from
http://freedesktop.org/Software/shared-mime-info if your distibution doesn't
have it; the Fedora Core 2 RPM seems to work fine on Scientific Linux
3.0.x)
DocDB depends on a number of perl modules. Some or all of these may have
RPMs in your linux distribution. All of them are available from CPAN. The instructions given on that page are probably an
easier way to install the required modules.
Some of the RPM names on Redhat Linux are:
- perl-DBI
- perl-DBD-MySQL
- perl-DBD-Pg
- perl-XML-Grove
- perl-Digest-SHA1
There are other perl modules that Redhat does not supply which must be
installed from CPAN.
