Zimbra install under openSUSE 11.3

[Panchux]

I've installed Zimbra CS succesfully under SLES 11 but that server is in production I can't use it for testing. I know openSUSE is not a supported OS but I'm willing to install Zimbra CS using this OS for educational/training porpuses.

Installation gives a Perl related error. I have googled this error and search this and other forums with no luck.

This is what I get

I thought that maybe you are able to point in the right direction.

Thank you in advance,

The problem is that Zimbra's Perl and your OS's Perl are different and with different dependencies. I've found solution here: Akhirnya, Zimbra Mail Server pada openSUSE 11.1 | Blog Vavai. Tried it today on two OpenSuSEs (11.2 and 11.3 x64).
So here are tree steps:
# ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
# ln -s /usr/lib/libltdl.so.7 /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3
# mv /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i586-linux-thread-multi/ /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/_i586-linux-thread-multi/
# rsync -av /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi/ /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i586-linux-thread-multi/
# rsync -av /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi/ /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i586-linux-thread-multi/


Of course in case with x64 OS paths will differ.
Enjoy it!

I will try your solution on Monday and I'll get back to you.

Thanks (a lot),

Pancho

I've corrected the paths for x86_64 architecture and Perl version (mine is 5.12.1) and run those commands. None of them gave any error but the error still occurs nonetheless.

#ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

I will try to reinstall or update Perl and I'll get back to you.

Today I run those commands with no luck. I've change the command's paths for the right Perl version and correct architecture but the error stays the same.

I've executed

# ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
# ln -s /usr/lib/libltdl.so.7 /usr/lib/libltdl.so.3
mv /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/ /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/_x86_64-linux-thread-multi/
# rsync -av /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/ /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/
# rsync -av /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/ /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Pancho

[Iluha]

It is very strange to me. I had the same error today and have just copied code from your post. It helped. Another question: is perl-DBI installed in your system?

[Panchux]

Yes it is. I tried to update the package to no avail.
I cannot downgrade Perl version because every KDE app uses it.

I don't know what to do,

Hi Guys,

Im having the exact same issue:

Have tried the fix mentioned by Iluha and does not work for me.

Have tried to reinstall, upgrade remove/reinstall but not working.

Can anybody help?

Looks like the same problem occurs on Fedora 14 now... I got ZCS 6 installed recently on Fedora 13 x86_64 using package zcs-6.0.8_GA_2661.F11_64.20100820041438. I have just upgraded to FC14, and when I try tostart ZCS services I get this Perl-related message:-

[zimbra@localhost ~]$ zmcontrol start
Assertion ((svtype)((_svi)->sv_flags & 0xff)) >= SVt_PV failed: file "UUID.c", line 368 at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/Zimbra/Mon/Logger.pm line 37.
Compilation failed in require at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol line 27.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol line 27.

If I run the install script again, after finding the previous installation and prerequisites, I get another Perl error:-

Assertion ((svtype)((_svi)->sv_flags & 0xff)) >= SVt_PV failed: file "UUID.c", line 368 at /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/Zimbra/Mon/Logger.pm line 37.
Compilation failed in require at bin/zmdbintegrityreport line 19.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at bin/zmdbintegrityreport line 19.

Background: I am interested in using ZCS for shared calendars and contacts on the family HTPC, and also to store emails centrally so we can access them from different PCs on the home LAN. I read that KDE 4.5 has GroupDAV support for Akonadi, whichwill facilitate synching Kontact with Zimbra. FC14 has KDE 4.5.2, unfortunately ZCS is now broken...

That's hardly surprising as Fedora 14 is not a supported platform for Zimbra and the upcoming Zimbra 7.x will only be supported on Fedora 13. Is there any reason you can't install Zimbra on a non-bleeding edge consumer distribution (such as CentOS 5.x) somewhere on your LAN?

BTW, it's not Zimbra that's broken it's the version of Fedora you're using that's the problem.
