List of required RPMs Redhat ES 4.5

[glenng]

Hey guys,

First post , probably of many!! We are in development stage of a zimbra install and I have been tasked with the install.

Is there a list of required RPMs zimbra requires? I mean from the Base install etc, what can I remove without breaking zimbra? The default installation of RHES is 1.6gb, a lot of that being RPMS. I was hoping to reduce it down to a one cd image (or USB key).

Many thanks

Glenn

Welcome to the forum.

You don't need "base" install, you should go "minimum" install.

This way, you'll need only the first CD of RHEL 4.6 (and 4.5 iirc).

Thanks for the prompt reply.

We are a FreeBSD house so I'm just getting used to using RHES. I am using the 'linux text' install but I don't remember an option to only select a minimum install. I can install one (of our 4 dev servers) again and see.

Thanks

Glenn

I'm using the "graphical" install, it's fast and easy.
No need for the mouse, everything can be done with keyboard.

Just tried another 'linux text' install to see and there is definitely no option to only do a minimal install.

I might do as you say and try a graphical install just to see what it puts in the anaconda-ks.cfg file. We will not be using graphical installs (hoping to use ks.cfg's) in the future so it's a bit of a PIA that it is not included in the linux text install.

Cheers

Oh, I forgot about my original question. Is there a list of required RPMS for Zimbra on RHES?

Many thanks

Although a minimal install may work, we specifically build and test against a base install. Any other dependencies not in the base install are checked by the installer and listed as prerequisites.

Hi Brian,

Would it be possible to generate a list of what you do require? We would rather a stripped out minimal install than a base install.

Thanks

Glenn

If you would like to test against a stripped down OS, you are welcome to do so. I'm sure other community members would be interested in your results and I'd encourage you to share them in the forums or the wiki.

But at this time the plan is to continue to base the OS prerequisite list off of the base installs. Long term plans for offering a stripped down OS version revolve around our support of the rpath linux based appliance/vmware images. This build process only includes the necessary components required to run ZCS, unfortunately we don't have a 5.0x version available at this time.

At the begining I had this problem:

compat-libltdc++33-3.2.3-47.3:
/usr/lib64/libltdl.so.3 No such file or directory

Then I fix it by copying the existing file /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3 to the directory /usr/lib64/ as an symbolic link.

However, when the installation goes on, it ends with this error:

I also tried to install libtool-ltdl-1.5.22-2.2.i386.rpm, but it's complicated because glibc-2.4 dependence.

The RHEL4 x86_64 comes with:
