Supporting Apps on SLES 9

Squiz Matrix Installation
1

Hi all I was wondering if anyone else has installed MySource on SLES 9?


I am trying to get some of the supporting apps installed…



Aspell, pdf2html and tidy…



They are not available via YAST and the CD's I have and not had to much luck trying to find them online…



Has anyone built these correctly from source, so that they worked with Mysource? or Managed to find the 64bit rpm's including aspell-devel etc…



If anyone could help me out al ittle with installting these apps it would be greatly apprecaited. :smiley:

They are all on SourceForge:


http://aspell.sourceforge.ne

http://aspell.sourceforge.ne

http://aspell.sourceforge.ne



Are there 3rd party repositories for SLES? I know for RHEL/CentOS I can use the RPMforge and other repositories to get these kinds of applications that are not included in the base distro.

I have not been able to really find one at the moment, I have emailed Novell to find out some info so will see what that turns up.



Was building via source yesterday, but it was not playing nicely and returning:



aspell: error while loading shared libraries: libaspell.so.15



when trying to run it… could not find to much on the net about the problem. Still playing around with it today and will investigate further…



Was just wondering if anyone else in the greater mysource community had experienced the same sorts of issues with SLES, and what they did to resolve… :slight_smile:

Have you modified your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/lib (which is where I suspect aspell is putting its libraries)?



Try:


    # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
    # aspell


If that works, you can compile PHP with --with-pspell=/usr/local (don't specify the lib, the ./configure adds that itself).

Built using the prefix option, and did the export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib

and aspell now works....

Thanks for the tips

I was half-guessing. :slight_smile: It just sounded like it couldn't find the libs.

Any idea on what could be causing this?

    mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
    /usr/bin/install -c xpdf/pdftops /usr/local/bin/pdftops
    /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `xpdf/pdftops': No such file or directory
    make: *** [install] Error 1


using pdf2html 0.38 using make.... then make install?

EDIT:
ok went back and used version 0.36 and it installed the binary to current build location, so just copied the binary to /usr/bin

then manually ran ld so it linux knows where the binary is.
