Adding libbsd to CentOS 5.8 64 bit

Post by thinklog » 2012/03/13 10:54:06

Hi.

Newbie here ;-).
I am trying to run Wakanda Server on a 64 bit CentOS 5.8 installation. The program fails with: error while loading shared libraries: libbsd.so.0
A yum search bsd (as suggested by the joysofprogramming blog) didn't turn up anything.
Can someone please direct me to the right repository, where I can get the correct libbsd version?

Thanks.

Welcome to the CentOS fora. Please see the recommended reading for new users linked in my signature.

No CentOS-5 repo that I can find (among many) provides libbsd.so.0. CentOS-6 is a different story. See [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=35907&forum=57&post_id=157141#forumpost157141]this thread[/url] for recent developments. Any chance of changing to the latest release?

Just went into the same problem so here is what I did:

[code]wget http://elrepo.reloumirrors.net/testing/el6/x86_64/RPMS/libbsd-0.2.0-4.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh libbsd-0.2.0-4.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

cd /var/Wakanda_Server
./Wakanda

WakandaWelcome to Wakanda Server!

Publishing solution "DefaultSolution"
Project "ServerAdmin" published at 127.0.0.1 on port 8080[/code]

Now my only problem is how to change its default 8080 port as one of my apache instances already running there...

Cheers
John

Thanks for the suggestion, but installing EL6 packages on EL5 distros is not recommended, nor is downloading and installing individual packages from a yum repo. If you have questions please start your own fresh topic.

oups, I missed the "5.8" version on the subject... I use 6.2 x64.
At least I hope this simple solution may help somebody young in linux (like me) that landed in this page searching for wakanda incompatibility with centos.
Sorry if misleading anyone
