Instalation in Red Hat

[danny.sierra@omtech.net]

I was trying to install zimbra on my red hat server so i verify all the prerequisites before i do it, after that i start the installation following the instructions on the instalation document, so when i write the command ./install, all checks had been made but after it i have this error:

Checking for prerequisites...

NPTL...FOUND
sudo...FOUND sudo-1.6.7p5-1
libidn...MISSING
curl...FOUND curl-7.10.6-4.2
fetchmail...FOUND fetchmail1-6.2.0-3
gmp...FOUND gmp-4.1.2-5
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5...FOUND

###ERROR###

One or more prerequisite pakcages are missing.
Please install them before running this installer.

Installation cancelled.

so it seems that i don't have libidn installed, but where can i find it?? and how i should install it?? thanks guys!!

yum(or up2date) install compat-libstdcc++-33
yum(or up2date) install compat-libstdcc++-296
sometimes yum install libstdc++.so.33
if you give us your exact RH version from more /etc/issue then we can give you an exact command

compat-libstdcc++-33. Compatibility Standard C++ libraries. ( NOTE: The 32-bit version of the compat-libstdc rpm package is required for both 32-bit or 64-bit servers.)
For Red Hat Enterprise only: compatlibstdcc++-296

-arch=x86_32 (sometimes without the _32)

please consider upgrading to RHEL 4

I don't believe it will run on RHEL3, I have a recollection that there's a problem with the 2.4 kernel - you will need to upgrade to RHEL4.

With RHEL 4 (I'm doing it right now), the commands are :

up2date compat-libstdc++-296
up2date compat-libstdc++-33
