I have seen this before. Honestly, I'm not sure what causes it. However, I do know that several threads start up with zimbra, and that I have seen the startup take nearly ten minutes on some systems. You may (ack can't believe I am saying this) want to restart the system and insure that all services come up properly. It will take a while to start - don't get impatient.

nope!... problem solved (?)

/etc/sysconfig/i18n:

removed any .UTF encoding and now config is finished like a charm... (I hope)

just looked in /etc/profile.d/keys.sh: unicode_start is executed when support for UTF in local lang is requested. FC4's bug or zimbra's? Missing something?

Im doing an install on fc4 and I get the following err:

###ERROR###

You need to install the MISSING dependencies..

try this

yum install libstdc++.so.5
yum install libidn
yum install curl
yum install fetchmail
yum install gmp

edit: I just looked at the first post again, it has all this stuff in it

well I had done all that except

yum install libstdc++.so.5

so I did and tried again with the following as result:

Checking for prerequisites...
NPTL...FOUND
libidn..../util/utilfunc.sh: line 262: [: too many arguments
MISSING
curl..../util/utilfunc.sh: line 262: [: too many arguments

fetchmail...FOUND fetchmail-6.2.5-7.fc4.1
gmp..../util/utilfunc.sh: line 262: [: too many arguments
MISSING
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5...FOUND


as you can see, those seem to be sh errors
"curl..../util/utilfunc.sh: line 262: [: too many arguments"

I'd appreciate any additional info

my bad... I didnt catch that the first time... I'm up reaal late trying to get this up and running myself.. On a third attempt, but this is the first time I saw this How to:, so i'll see how it goes..

As for your problem, it appears someone should be able to help you, i'm sorry I dont know what it is.

maybe it's because my system is FC4 64bits

hi gzoug,

what do you mean removed any .UTF encoding? i didn't find the /etc/profile.d/keys.sh, but i found the /etc/sysconfig/i18n. it contains:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
SUPPORTED=en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en

do i have to remove the i18n?

thanks in advance

correction: /etc/profile.d/lang.sh
Script is calling unicode_start if *utf-8* strings are found in your /etc/sysconfig/i18n 's entries

I just removed/modifiyed the *utf-8* entries in my /etc/sysconfig/i18n
to single ones, say "en_US.UTF-8" to "en_US"

that fixed my problem..

I haven't got time to check what causes these zobbie unicode_start processes to stay allive. My first hint is that whenever zimbra scripts are su-ing as zimbra user, zibmra's profile is executed, so this lang.sh is executed too. Now: If I can guess right, the su-ed command is terminated without waiting the zimbra's profile script to terminate, and that might causes the new bash-ed unicode_start to stay alive. I'm not sure though...

Posting this might help community

One dependency I came to, was the requirement for Berkeley' libdb 4.2

FC4 had 4.3, but linking the .so to 4.2 was hitting to a stop error of "db.h version 4.2 <> libdb version 4.3" ...

workaround: force rpm install the libdb 4.2 from FC3's CDs.

There is an open source FC4 M2 download on the Zimbra Download page now.

Is there any prep that needs to be done for this M2-FC4 build to install on FC4 beyond the noramal, turn sendmail off, yum upgrade, yum install curl, yum install fetchmail, yum install gmp, yum install libstdc++.so.5?
