Practice makes perfect?

Well, the DUCS system administrator, Keyur, decided to give us a surprise for the new year by reinstalling our OSes, which meant that the trial installation on gyro was wrecked. Also, my own login wasn't working. So,the trial installation has been shifted to launchpad, for reasons including "It seemed to have more stuff up".

Any how, I start installing with all the usual stuff. Only thing is, thanks to Keyur, there is less stuff now than there was the first time I tried. So here's the complete list of packages I needed to install.

• gettext
• byacc
• make (Would you believe that!!)
• db4.3-util
• libdb4.3
• libdb4.3-dev
• libldap2-dev

The rest of the process was pretty much the same. One fact I had forgotten to mention in my previous posts was the fact that I had to create a link to libical.so.0 in /lib/ as the libical installation process puts it in /usr/local/lib/ (For the uninitiated, libical is required for the calendar service to work).

Now, that this is done and I have a trial installation going, I can continue trying to hook it up with our LDAP server.
