[saulat]

[B]Hi,

I want to know that how to install all those prerequisites on red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

I am using Zimbra 7.1.0

NPTL. Native POSIX Thread Library
• Sudo. Superuser, required to delegate admins.
• libidn. For internationalizing domain names in
applications (IDNA)
• GMP. GNU Multiple-Precision Library.
• compat-libstdc ++-33. Compatibility Standard C++
libraries.
For RHEL servers only


since this is my first post - let see who replies first - correctly.
Thanks,
Saulat Saleem

u can use YUM to install all the required stuff

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm -O /tmp/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh /tmp/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

yum -y install libidn curl fetchmail gmp compat-libstdc++-296 compat-libstdc++-33 compat-db libtool-ltdl perl-IO-Socket-INET6

thanks Roj - that helped but now i am on another error. Actually I am testing Zimbra before i deploy it in our office, I am running the test on a VM machine which is standalone ( no other server is available for test).

Now i receive " please fix your etc/hosts ........"
i tried many things to resolve and continue but i am unable to do so.

Did you read the Quick Start Installation Guide (you should) or search the forums (you should) for that error or read the Split DNS wiki article (you should).
