Hi,

I am trying to build an SER, and have installed Linux RedHat 9 on a Toshiba Intel Celeron Laptop. After installing Linux I went to HOWTO Install SER, where it sets the requirements of SER. For someone who is extremely very new to Linux, below is all new, however I have downloaded everything upto PHP, MySQL-PHP, have tried looking for libmysqlclient, not sure where I can find this.

The problem I am facing is with installation of the requirements below, I have tried to install GCC for last three days, and I really have not been able to get my head round it.

I really would appreciate it if you could spare some time and point me in the right direction, of how t proceed further. I am more of a wireless person with very basic UNIX/Linux skills.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Requirements

· gcc or icc : gcc >= 2.9x; >=3.1 recommended (it will work with older version but it might require some options tweaking for best performance)

· bison or yacc (Berkley yacc)

· flex

· GNU make (on Linux this is the standard "make", on FreeBSD and Solaris is called "gmake")

· sed and tr (used in the make files)

· GNU tar ("gtar" on Solaris) and gzip if you want "make tar" to work.

· GNU install or BSD install (on Solaris "ginstall") if you want "make install", "make bin", "make sunpkg" to work.

· "mysql" if you need MySQL support.

· "Apache (httpd)" if you want serweb support

· "PHP, MySQL-PHP" for serweb support

· libmysqlclient & libz (zlib) if you want mysql support (the mysql module)

· libexpat if you want the jabber gateway support (the jabber module)

Best regards

Saber Fakih
