We are using RabbitMQ for a new production system, which
requires Erlang and I've run into a few issues getting things to
install properly.<br>
<br>
First of all, I found the EPEL repositories to be an issue in
that the 32-bit RPMs are more current, whereas the 64-bit RPMs don't
really exist. When installing from one of them onto a 64-bit
platform, I ran into a pesky dependency on wxGTK (which we'll never,
ever use). So I compiled from source...<br>
<br>
Compiling from source also requires that you "touch" lib/wx/SKIP
to disable that feature (which isn't that done with ./configure?).
"make clean" happily removes those SKIP files. Ultimately, I wasn't
able to figure out how to get it to install into the filesystem
properly, so that RabbitMQ is happy. <br>
<br>
The RPMs do a lot of nitty gritty work, such as creating
directory structures, creating users and permissions. I was able
to get the 32-bit lot to work fine, but we require a 64-bit
architecture.<br>
<br>
My question is ultimately about either where to obtain an
official (if that exists) Source RPM for the latest R15B01 version
that is suitable for RHEL 5.x, or how to ./configure from the source
to mimic the installation processes that the RPMs normally do. I
see other Source RPMs on Rpmbone, but some refer to dependencies on
RHEL 6.x and updated libc, which conflicts with our environment.<br>
<br>
If someone can point me in the right direction, I would
appreciate it. I've spent about 3 working days fussing over this
:-) <br>
