Installation notes / questions

[Matt M.]

Just installed kolab server(after about 2 days). Seems to be running 
fine so far, although I haven't had a chance to use it much. I followed 
the QIM for installation, and I noticed a few things I thought I'd point 
out. I will send this to the author, but I thought I would send  it to 
the list as well.

--------------------------

1.)

Among the long list of RPM's it says to compile are 'libxml', and 
'libxslt'. Neither of these are included in the sources I downloaded 
from http://www.erfrakon.de/projects/kolab/download/ . Are these 
packages needed? I noticed that they are available on the openpkg 
download server.

2.)

Building Apache failed with the following error:

	gdbm::with_ndbm = yes is needed by apache-1.3.27-20030611

This was easy enough to fix. Just re-build gdbm with

	--define 'with_ndbm yes'

The QIM should be updated with this change.

3.)

This isn't a big deal, but the order of the list of packages given in 
the QIM lead me to believe that that was the proper order to install the 
in. It wasn't, because many of the packages depend on packages further 
down the list. I realize that was not the purpose of that list, but it 
would be an easy task to make it that way.

------------------

Other than that, everything went fine. Now I'm off to tinker.
