Hi,
If you know, could you tell me the package dependencies and versions or OpenMeetings? I am guessing that in particularly for Ubuntu, that many of the old installation instructions that request people to install packages which are no longer required, because the packages have been updated or superceeded. For example what are OpenMeeings actual application/package requirements: sun-java >=6, swftools >=9, Sox >= 12, xpdf (because of libjpeg62?), libjpeg >=62, jod = 3.0-beta-4, imagemakick, lame, ghostscript, ffmpeg, [and others?] Can OpenMeetings use turbo live jpeg libjpeg-turbo ? instead of libjpeg62 or libjpeg8 ? I am trying to better understand the packages for which OpenMeetings is dependent on. apt-get install libgif-dev xpdf libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libjpeg62 libjpeg8 libjpeg8-dev Questions that I would like to ask are; 1) Why do we install both libjpeg62 and libjpeg8 ? surely libjpeg8 is all that is required ? And if libjpeg62 is required then why do we install the development package for libjpeg8 and not libjpeg62 ? 2) Why do we install the development version of libjpeg8-dev? 3) Why do we install the development version at all ? http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/source/browse/wiki/UbuntuLucidLTS. wiki?spec=svn3925&r=3925 now we can progress with swftools get the latest from here http://www.swftools.org/download.html {{{ mkdir swftools cd swftools wget http://www.swftools.org/swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz tar -zxvf swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz cd swftools-2011-01-23-1815 }}} because of some missing items from later versions of libjpeg, xpdf needs to be put into the build http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/issues/detail?id=135 The dependencies : libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu14 ), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1-5ubuntu1.1 ), libjpeg62 (>= 6b-13 ), python2.5 (>= 2.5.1-0ubuntu1 ), python-imaging (>= 1.1.6-0ubuntu3 ), zlib1g (>= 1 ) Thanks, George Kirkham
