Zimbra on Mandriva Linux??

[matux]

Hi, was wondering if anyone has had any luck installing Zimbra on Mandriva Linux. I am using Mandriva 2006, have libidn and gmp installed its just that the Zimbra installer doesn't detect it.

Thanks for any help.

You will probably need to build from source.

I'm a Mandriva developer, and have been asked to look at Zimbra on Mandriva. I sent back a couple of patches to the install scripts that let the package install proceed, but then have run into perl issues.

[root@presario30 zcs]# /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetup.pl
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error:
/opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Net/DNS/DNS.so:
undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

So it looks like a symbol mismatch between the system perl and the supplied Zimbra perl modules. In particular, we removed thread support from our perl a couple of years ago.

A quick glance of the modules provided look like common ones that we would already provide, but a glance at the source of the above mentioned script looks like it's hard coded to use the bits in /opt. I'm at LWE now, so haven't had time to look at this further, but it would be nice to be able to use an env variable to have the Zimbra scripts use the system perl modules since it's using the system interpreter. (something like PERL5_LIB?).

Building from source of course is an option, but we're looking at working with Zimbra to provide binary packages that would run on Mandriva.

The full list of PERL mods is in the Thirdparty/Perl/Makefile. It may work to just change an env var, but my guess is for other things we'll need to recompile anyways.
