Dspace 1.6 install documentation:

  • Requires Requirement - Perl (no version listed.) – RHEL5 currently provides perl 5.8.8. and was Installed by our default RHEL5 build.
  • Requires Requirement - Sun Java 1.5 or better, we will install Sun Java 1.6 -
    (RHEL5 currently provides Sun Java 1.5 & 1.6 through the RHEL Supplementary (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) channel)
    1. Requires RHEL Supplementary (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) channel to get access to the Sun Java.
      This is done through the web interface @ https://rhn.redhat.com
    2. Install Sun Java 6:
      Code Block
      yum install java-1.6.0-sun java-1.6.0-sun-devel -y
      Note

      Notice here, it installs the jpackage-utils 1.7 which is maintained by Red Hat, which will be replaced by the JPackage maintained version later and can/will cause some problems after we install the jpackage repo.

  • Requires Requirement - Relational Database, PostgreSQL 7.4 or later - (RHEL5 currently provides postgres 8.1.18(default) and 8.4 is available too.)
    1. Install Postgresql:
      Code Block
      yum install postgresql-server -y
      This will install the postgresql dependency.
Tip
titleClean Install

We have a Clean install, using only RHEL provided packages, up to this point.

Install and Configure the JPackage repository

(Ok, this is somewhat dirty{*} * and I don't know if this work work in a sustainable way, but here goes the experiment.)

Objective Statement: Only packages that are specifically needed, either directly explicitly or to resolve a dependency on JPackage will be used, otherwise the RHEL channel provided package will be used.((I go into detail why I didn't use _yum-priorities_ in my more ideal install attempt:#alternative_install_methodyum-protectbase.))
