This is an alphabetized list of packages we have found that we need, aside from those for PostgreSQL, Apache2, mod_perl2 and perl modules. Most of the packages are available from the usual repositories; some might even be installed by default.

 aspell
 aspell-devel
 aspell-en
 ejabberd
 elinks
 gcc
 gd-devel
 js
 js-devel
 libgpg-error
 libgpg-error-devel
 libxml2
 libxml2-devel
 libxslt 
 libxslt-devel
 libyaz
 libyaz-devel
 memcached
 ncftp
 ncurses

 yaz (2.x or above)

On RHEL4, use up2date to install a package.

 up2date packagename other-packagename yetanotherpkg-name

On Fedora Core 5 or 6, use yum.

 yum install packagename other-packagename yetanotherpkg-name

Yum will resolve any dependencies prior to installing the package. It will tell you there is "Nothing to do" if the package is already installed. You might want to verify which version you have.

 [user@host dir]$ rpm -q packagename other-packagename yetanotherpkg-name

You may have to download a package or two.

  1. A memcached RPM for Fedora Core 6 can be downloaded from
    http://www.enlartenment.com/packages/fedora/6/i386/repodata/. Go into the directory with the downloaded file and type
    "rpm -ivh memcached*.rpm".
  2. YAZ RPMs for Red Hat seem to be available at http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/redhat/.
