Installing GDOME on Fedora Core 3
Gdome is the Gnome DOM engine, and aims to provide compatibility with all of DOM2 and some of DOM3 XPath. In eprints XML::GDOME is recommended as it's faster and uses much less RAM.
The article deals with missing glib-config in Fedora Core 3. (May be true for other versions of Fedora also).
The following RPMs are to installed for GDOME
gdome2-0.8.1-1.i386.rpm gdome2-devel-0.8.0-1.i386.rpm
RPMs can be obtained from
http://gdome2.cs.unibo.it/rpm/gdome2-0.8.1-1.i386.rpm http://gdome2.cs.unibo.it/rpm/gdome2-devel-0.8.1-1.i386.rpm
To install login as 'root' and execute the command given below:
rpm -Uvh gdome2-0.8.1-1.i386.rpm gdome2-devel-0.8.1-1.i386.rpm
Fix the bug in gdome-config (already mentioned in Eprints2-wiki Installation on Readhat Enterprise Edition4)
To see the bug run
gdome-config --libs
As root edit /usr/bin/gdome-config
Around line 88 find these two lines:
the_libs="$the_libs -L${exec_prefix}/lib -lgdome ` --libs` `xml2-config --libs`"
the_flags="$the_flags -I${prefix}/include -I${prefix}/include/libgdome ` --cflags` `xml2-config --cflags`"
change them to this:
the_libs="$the_libs -L${exec_prefix}/lib -lgdome `/usr/bin/glib-config --libs` `xml2-config --libs`"
the_flags="$the_flags -I${prefix}/include -I${prefix}/include/libgdome `/usr/bin/glib-config --cflags` `xml2-config --cflags`"
If the following error occurs:
No such file or directory /usr/bin/glib-config No such file or directory /usr/bin/glib-config
This means there is no glib-config file in Fedora Core 3.
By default Fedora Core 3 has glib2-2.4.7-1, which doesn't seems to have glib-config.
Solution:
To install GDOME we need to check for glib-config.
glib-config is available in glib1.2-devel.xxx (glib-devel is needed to install XML::Gdome)
We can get glib1.2-devel rpm from
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/nahant/Desktop/i386/glib-devel-1.2.10-15.i386.html
Then Install XML::GDOME
XML::GDOME is a perl module that provides the DOM Level 2 Core API for accessing XML documents. It provides a XS wrapper around the gdome2 library.
