Unable to install on Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit

[geekneck]

Hi all,

I'm checking out Zimbra for the first time, and can't even get it installed. I have an AMD64 box running Kubuntu 7.04 (Feisty). I am trying to install Zimbra zcs-4.5.6_GA_1044.UBUNTU6.tgz, but get an error after the depency checks:

I'm guessing that the problem is that the .debs are i386, not x86_64. Does this make sense?

If this is the case what are my options? Thanks in advance!

The only arch that we support x64 on is RHEL as it's the most stable.

You can also build from source, which would allow you to run Ubuntu on x64.

Are there any docs on building from source? I have untarred the source and see no docs at all. I've built plenty of source packages before, but it would be nice to have a starting point.

I looked here Building the software yourself - ZimbraWiki, but this seems way out of date. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in need of running Zimbra on Ubuntu 64 LTS (dapper 6.06) as well. I'm prepared to compile it myself, and have spent many hours now attempting to do so to no avail. Has anyone ever succeeded in this yet? If so are there any notes available? The INSTALL.txt file, which I assume is the one we should be starting with for basic compile-it-yourself instructions, has specific mention of internal shares and perforce, etc, to which I do not have access, so I've replaced steps 1 and 2 with downloading and extracting the zcs-4.5.6_GA_1044-src.tgz tarball.

I believe that step 3 is covered as I have build 1.5.0_11-b03 of the Sun JDK and have set JAVA_HOME.

I have installed eclipse 3.1.2 using 'apt-get install eclipse'. From there I'm lost. I've tried "File | Import | Existing Projects into Workspace" and selected the ZimbraServer directory, but when I do I get errors in Eclipse about "missing required java project ZimbraCommon" and ZimbraIM. When I add those via Import and clean all projects I get a dialog pop up that reads 'An internal error occurred during: "Building workspace"'. The top error is:

Syntax error, varargs are only available if source level is 5.0" in the TZIDMapper.java Resource in Folder ZimbraCommon/src/java/com/zimbra/common/calendar line 46

Unfortunately my Java and eclipse skills are not yet adequate enough to know what to do next. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

OK, I fixed the source level problem in "Window -> Preferences -> Compiler" and set compiler compliance level to 5.0. Now I'm getting:

Description Resource In Folder Location
The serializable class ConfigException does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long ConfigException.java ZimbraCommon/src/java/com/zimbra/common/localconfig line 28

Any ideas now?

Thanks!
