Channel Archiver on Scientific Linux

[Gasper Pajor <gasper.pajor@cosylab.com>]

Hi all,

I just installed channel archiver (dated 2005-11-07) on Scientific Linux 4.1
(http://www.scientificlinux.org), which is a derivate of RedHat Enterprise.
gcc's version is 3.4.3.

I followed the installation instructions in the manual and below are some comments/additions to what is already written. I hope somebody will find
these remarks useful.

Regards,

o) w3c-libwww-devel

The w3c-libwww sources supplied with archiver did compile but xmlrpc's configure
didn't find it (probably path/location issues). I just grabbed the package from
internet and it worked ok;

su -c "yum install w3c-libwww-devel"

o) xml rpc

I applied both patches mentioned in the manual and changed line 104 in
extensions/src/ChannelArchiver/ThirdParty/xmlrpc-c-0.9.9/src/validatee.c where
default:
was changed to
default:;
in order to prevent compiler error.

o) xerces

Added
#include <xercesc/framework/MemoryManager.hpp>
to
extensions/src/ChannelArchiver/ThirdParty/xercesc/util/RefArrayOf.hpp
as mentioned in manual.

o) XML-Simple and Frontier

Worked exactly as described in manual.

o) some general notes

- /usr/local/bin is not by default included in path which causes archiver making
(when calling xmlrpc-c-config) to fail. Just
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

- I omited 'o' switch when extracting third party archives to prevent "Cannot
change ownership" errors.

- Remember to run "make" in extensions/configure prior to making
ChannelArchiver.
