I'm attempting to get Bacula 2.4.3 working on a fresh install of
CentOS 5.2 (up to date) for evaluation. Been at it all day.
After replacing CentOS' MySQL with MySQL-Sun's official version and
installing bacula-mtx, the bacula-mysql RPM installed without any
trouble.
I thought the GUI would be nice so I tried to install a Fedora RPM,
hoping I would get lucky:
[r...@backup1 ~] rpm -hiv --test bacula-gconsole-2.4.3-1.fc9.i386.rpm
warning: bacula-gconsole-2.4.3-1.fc9.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA
signature:
NOKEY, key ID 10a792ad
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc >= 2.8 is needed by bacula-gconsole-2.4.3-1.i386
gtk2 >= 2.12 is needed by bacula-gconsole-2.4.3-1.i386
libbonobo >= 2.22 is needed by bacula-gconsole-2.4.3-1.i386

libgnomeui >= 2.22 is needed by bacula-gconsole-2.4.3-1.i386
libssl.so.7 is needed by bacula-gconsole-2.4.3-1.i386
Updating CentOS for these deficiencies is no walk in the park. In
fact, I'm not going to do it. I was willing to experiment with older
versions of Bacula, hoping that if I went far enough back in time that
I could get a good, full install. No luck. (I didn't try anything
older than 2.2.3-1, though.)
So, one or two questions come to mind:
1. The "Supported Operating Systems" page lists this on the first
line: "Linux systems (built and tested on CentOS 5)." This doesn't
include the GUI stuff?
2. As an alternative, I have considered trying to get this going on
Fedora. Is this recommended?
3. Which platform (including non-RPM-based distributions) is Bacula
considered to run best on.
4. Is compiling gconsole source pretty easy or will I face dependency
problems there, too?
TIA,
