help installing Kolab

[Ivor]

Hi, 

please can someone tell me where I am going wrong. I have downloaded all
the files from
http://ftp.kolab.org/kolab/server/development/current/sources/ 

I copy the files to /kolabtemp, I then mkdir /usr/local/kolab.
I then ln -s /usr/local/kolab /kolab

this creates the soft link

I then run :

sh obmtool kolab and this is what i get:

    ./obmtool kolab 
    ---- boot/build TestServ %kolab ---- 
    obmtool:NOTICE: did not find openpkg/rpm executable.
Checking/fetching binary sh. 
    obmtool:NOTICE: did not find binary sh. Checking/fetching source
sh. 
    OpenPKG 2.2-SOLID Source Bootstrap Package, version 2.2.1 
    Building for prefix /kolab on current platform 
    ++ extracting OpenPKG source distribution 
    openpkg-2.2.1-2.2.1.src.sh:ERROR: failed to unpack into directory
"openpkg-2.2.1-2.2.1.src" 
    /tmp/obmtool.6229.tmp: line
440: /kolab/RPM/PKG/openpkg-2.2.1-2.2.1.*-*-*.sh: No such file or
directory 
    obmtool:ERROR: bootstrapping failed 

Now I am Logged in as root
/ has 31Gb available space 
    it creates /kolab 
    with the following sub directories: 
        RPM 
        PKG 
        SRC 
        TMP 

    it also copies the following files into 

        PKG : 

            openpkg-2.2.1-2.2.1.src.rpm 
            openpkg-2.2.1-2.2.1.src.sh 

        and TMP 

            openpkg-2.2.1-2.2.1.src 
            openpkg-2.2.1-2.2.1.src.sh 

        and that is as far as it gets.

I have tried several different distributions:

   Fedora Core 2,  Fedora Core 3
   RHEL3 and Rhel 4.
   The only one i have got it to compile on is Mandrake 10.1

Any ideas where to look?? 

Are there possible special packages that must be in the installation?
the test box is a Penrium celeron 2Ghz, with 512 Mb Ram and a 40 Gb Hard
Drive
