Re: Building Flashclient--and all CP

[James Nordgaard]

Thanks,

Just had one, what should be a quick question. I looked on the internet and found several variations on installing Psql (8.3), including different installers and different parameters (options?) for 8.04. Is it important to use the correct install command line for Psql and PostGIS? In other words can I mess myself up by doing the wrong install, and having to deal with some messy uninstall/reinstall procedures? (It looks like I already have Python installed.)

Jim,

I've got an install guide started on the Wiki

http://cyclopath.org/wiki/Tech:Open_Source/Install_Guide

Turns out takes a while to get 2000 lines of notes into a Wiki!

I'll get the remainder posted soon, but what's up so far should help if you need any assistance getting the machine initially configured.

What's missing is installing the Flash Debug Plugin on x64 machines, and documenting a step-by-step of downloading and installing the source from http://cyclopath.org/wiki/Tech:Source_Code.

I also need to install Ubuntu in VirtualBox to verify all my instructions. The instructions I posted were gleaned from my native Ubuntu installation at work and from my Fedora installation in VirtualBox at home, so I'm not 100% sure they're accurate for Ubuntu in VirtualBox.

Happy Hacking!

Hi Landon,

Thanks for the version info. I guessing it'll take me a day (or more)
just to install the packages, so the instructions will arrive just
about the right time. If not, I just proceed with the old
instructions.

Good news: I (just) got Flashclient built! I even ran it in a browser
and got the interface displayed (along with continuous complaints
about no connection, of course).

Thanks again,

Jim

Jim,

Hopefully, you can use the Ubuntu package manager to install Psql. Try running

 sudo apt-get install \
   postgresql \
   postgresql-8.3 \
   postgresql-client \
   postgresql-client-8.3 \
   postgresql-client-common \
   postgresql-common \
   postgresql-filedump-8.3 \
   postgresql-server-dev-8.3

As for PostGIS, take a look at

http://cyclopath.org/wiki/Tech:Open_Source/Setup/GIS_Apps

There's a section on installing PostGIS 1.3.6 (ignore PostGIS 1.1.6). The instructions are pretty straight-forward. I don't think you should worry about messing things up.

Hope that helps!!

Landon
