hangup with fetchmail

[xtremetoonz]

New RH EL4 install. Downloaded the appropriate Zimba source. Fetchmail is not installed according to the following:

Checking for prerequisites...
    NPTL...FOUND
    libidn...FOUND libidn-0.5.6-1
    curl...FOUND curl-7.12.1-3
    fetchmail...MISSING
    gmp...FOUND gmp-4.1.4-3
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5...MISSING

I downloaded a recent release of fetchmail (fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386.rpm). But I get failed dependencies when I do a rpm -i:

warning: fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 052e7d95
error: Failed dependencies:
        smtp_daemon is needed by fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386
        libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is needed by fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386
        libssl.so.0.9.7 is needed by fetchmail-6.2.5.4-1.i386

Isn't postfix/sendmail installed in the Zimbra install? What is the best way to get past this and back to the Zimbra install?

If you do a "yum install fetchmail"?

up2date -i fetchmail should do the dependency dance for you.

Awesome! Got me past the fetchmail thing, but now I get:

Checking for prerequisites...
    NPTL...FOUND
    libidn...FOUND libidn-0.5.6-1
    curl...FOUND curl-7.12.1-3
    fetchmail...FOUND fetchmail-6.2.5-6.el4.2
    gmp...FOUND gmp-4.1.4-3
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5...MISSING

###ERROR###

I did a 'up2date -i libstdc++'
and
Installing...
1:libstdc++ ########################################### [100%]
2:libstdc++-devel ########################################### [100%]

but I still get the libstdc++ missing

is the package name, not sure what version is on your system.

]# up2date -i compat-libstdc++

The following packages you requested were not found:

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3


cd /usr/lib
ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.3 libstdc++.so.5

now I get:

Maybe I cheated and maybe it'll break, but it got me past that part...moving on...

[root@depot space]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-46.1

So run up2date -i compat-libstdc++-33

Don't symlink .so files - you'll get strange, almost always BAD, results.
