Scalix Forums

Our office recently made the simultaneous decision to go with RH ES 4, and Scalix. Unfortunately Sclix is not currently "officially" supported on RH 4. But I cant imagine this would be too difficult a task. The installer obviously bales as it does not "see" a supported version. And I would prefer to try and use the installer so my first question:

1: Is there any way to run the installer and bypass or "fool" its os check to run on RH 4?

2: Manually trying to install the server rpm for fc3, or ES3, fails with a dependency problem: Is this a correct error, cause I appear to have the right libs installed?

compat-libstdc++ is needed by scalix-server-9.2.0.115-1.fc3.i386

But this library is installed so maybe its a version issue?

These are installed:
compat-libstdc++-33
compat-libstdc++-296

3: Has anyone successfuly installed Scalix on RH4, or does anyone know what specific dependencies or additional requirements might be needed?

I can't explain why RPM is failing to satisfy the dependency because we don't require a particular version of compat-libstdc++.

As you'd probably guess, we haven't tried installing the FC3 RPM on RHEL4 but that would be the closest match rather than the RHEL3 RPM.

Can you try a manual RPM install and post the complete output rather than the edited highlights ?

I've done some more investigation. The RHEL4 compat-libstdc++ RPM provides a different package name to the one that is on FC3 which is why you have the dependency problem.

The only way you'll be able to get the FC3 RPM install working is by installing with --nodeps.

We're planning on providing genuine RHEL4 support towards the end of April 2005.
