Installing in RedHat and Fedora

===============================

 

Using RPMs

----------

We have a custom RedHat/Fedora repository at

http://5dollarwhitebox.org/repos/drizzle/dev/ which includes everything needed

to install or compile Drizzle on RedHat 5 and 6 as well as Fedora 12 - 14.

 

A pre-requisite of this repository is that the

`EPEL <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>`_ repository is also added to your

distribution.

 

To add that repository, run the following command:

 

sudo rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

 

To add the repository to your distribution you also need to create a /etc/yum.repos.d/drizzle.repo file with the following content:

 

*RedHat*::

 

   [drizzle]

   name=drizzle

   baseurl=http://5dollarwhitebox.org/repos/drizzle/dev/Redhat/$releasever/$basearch/

   enabled=1

   gpgcheck=0

 

   [drizzle-src]

   name=drizzle-src

   baseurl=http://5dollarwhitebox.org/repos/drizzle/dev/Redhat/$releasever/SRPMS

   enabled=1

   gpgcheck=0

 

*Fedora*::

 

   [drizzle]

   name=drizzle

   baseurl=http://5dollarwhitebox.org/repos/drizzle/dev/Fedora/$releasever/$basearch/

   enabled=1

   gpgcheck=0

 

   [drizzle-src]

   name=drizzle-src

   baseurl=http://5dollarwhitebox.org/repos/drizzle/dev/Fedora/$releasever/SRPMS

   enabled=1

   gpgcheck=0

 

You can then use the following shell command::

 

   yum install drizzle7

 

Compiling From Source

---------------------

To compile from source you will need to add the repositories above and then install the following packages:

 

 * bzr

 * boost-devel

 * autoconf

 * automake

 * gcc

 * gcc-c++

 * libtool

 * gperf

 * libuuid-devel (part of e2fsprogs-devel on older RedHat based distributions)

 * zlib-devel

 * pcre-devel

 * readline-devel

 * flex

 * bison

 

You will then be able to compile from source in the normal way.
