Re: Domino 8/CentOS

CentOS is nothing more or less then a distribution build from RHEL sources.

CentOS 5.2 = RHEL 5.2

So if you have instructions how to get Domino 8.0.2 running on RHEL 5.2 then let me know because I can apply them on CentOS 5.2 without changes.

But I need more then the stuff currently found in the documentation:
-----
The following packages are required for server support on xSeries (32/64-bit) /System z (64-bit) SLES 10 (equivalent required for RHEL 5 - which may mean additional RPMs including compatible RPMs)*:
glibc-32bit-2.4-31.2
libgcc-4.1.0-28.4
libstdc++-4.1.0-28.4

In addition, due to Java, the following packages are required for the server (some may not be needed on System z (64-bit))*:
alsa-32bit-1.0.11-32.2
atk-32bit-1.10.3-15.2
cairo-32bit-1.0.2-27.4
compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-22.2
expat-32bit-2.0.0-13.2
fontconfig-32bit-2.3.94-18.5
freetype2-32bit-2.1.10-18.5
glib-32bit-1.2.10-609.2
glib2-32bit-2.8.5-21.2
glibc-32bit-2.4-31.2
glitz-32bit-0.4.4-21.2
gtk-32bit-1.2.10-907.2
gtk2-32bit-2.8.10-39.12
libgcc-4.1.0-28.4
libpng-32bit-1.2.8-19.2
pango-32bit-1.10.2-23.2
resmgr-32bit-0.9.8_SVNr75-18.4
unixODBC-32bit-2.2.11-21.4
xorg-x11-libs-32bit-6.9.0-50.14
zlib-32bit-1.2.3-15.2

Release Notes
* These names are from the library dependency lists on a SLES 10 64bit xSeries system, which is why some of the RPMs say "32bit" in their name. The names may change slightly if you are running any other version of Linux, but the "gist" remains the same: you need the given package (such as libstdc++) and the given level (4.1.0). Sometimes a higher level is OK, but other times you need the given level or a compatible level (C++ is an example where you need the given level or compatible RPM, like compat-libstdc++-5). For example, on RHEL 5 you need compat-libstdc++-33 and compat-libstdc++-296 to get the correct C++ level of libraries for both Java and Domino. If there is no comparable patch available for RHEL, for example, then you should be OK with not applying the patch/package.

...but the "gist" remains the same... What kind of information is that? I am no beginner with Linux but since Domino 8 is so dependent on the installed libraries and version, then IBM should put exactly what version is needed.

Beside that: The remote configuration (Java application) is crashing with an "unhandled exception" and for me this is an error/bug. And starting the server crashes with an "Illegal instruction" and this is for me as well an error/bug. If the other installed packages are the problem, then I would expect the application (Domino) to tell me that application xyz in version 123 is not supported and so on... but crashing? No! This should not happen.

And the OS is a clean install. So how are the others getting Domino to run on RHEL5? I am asking that because there must be something what I either installed to much or to less. But I don't know what that is? I just did normal install without X and other graphical stuff (it's a headless server no need for gfx stuff). However... I later installed the X Windowing group. So all the libraries are there.

I am sooooo close to go and grab RHEL 5.2 (the original one) and try there. I am tending to expect the configuration/serverstart to fail there as well.

So all the others here having Domino 8.0.2 on RHEL5: Tell me what packages you have installed? Maybe dump the output of "rpm -qa" into an reply would help? :)
