Issue installing onto Amazon ec2

[SpeakServeBen]

Hi All,

Im having some weird issues installing BBB onto amazon EC2.  I'm following the instructions from here:

https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#Can_I_install_BigBlueButton_on_EC2

 and that refers me to:

 https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/InstallationUbuntu

From this second link, I get all the way to Step 2 - installing Ruby

Here is my output:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-30-42:~$ dpkg -l | grep ruby

ubuntu@ip-172-31-30-42:~$ ruby -v

The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:

 * ruby1.8

 * ruby1.9.1

Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

My version does not match so I run this command to install the pre-requisites:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline5-dev libyaml-dev build-essential bison checkinstall libffi5 gcc checkinstall libreadline5 libyaml-0-2

I have three items out of the list that will not install ( went through item by item to get to the individual error reports:

Package 1

ubuntu@ip-172-31-30-42:~$ sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Package libreadline5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

  libreadline-gplv2-dev:i386 lib64readline-gplv2-dev:i386 libreadline-gplv2-dev

E: Package 'libreadline5-dev' has no installation candidate

Package 2

ubuntu@ip-172-31-30-42:~$ sudo apt-get install lib64readline-gplv2-dev:i386

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 lib64readline-gplv2-dev:i386 : Depends: lib64readline5:i386 (= 5.2-11) but it is not going to be installed

                                Depends: lib64ncurses5-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed

                                Depends: libc6-dev-amd64:i386 but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Package 3

ubuntu@ip-172-31-30-42:~$ sudo apt-get install libffi5

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package libffi5 

Can anyone offer any guidance or assistance?

Thanks

Ben

Hey Fred,

Arjun emailed me and said that the code:

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline5-dev libyaml-dev build-bison checkinstall libffi5 gcc checkinstall libreadline5 libyaml-0-2

is wrong that is old code kindly look the vedio http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=A_rYw82-9Bs#! and get code from that vedio.

Can you post the output of the following two commands

   cat /etc/lsb-release

and

  uname -a

Regards,... Fred

Hi Ben,

You are installing on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.  The instructions only work on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

Thanks Fred, I must have had a mind freeze - I thought I had installed 10.04 64-Bit.

Thanks for such a fast reply.
