Installation

Compile then install FastCGI library from source

wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi.tar.gz
tar xzf fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install
echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
ldconfig

Compile then install the autoconf tools :

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf autoconf-latest.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Compile then install the flex tool :

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/flex/flex/flex-2.5.35/flex-2.5.35.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fflex.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1292529005&use_mirror=switch
tar xzf flex-2.5.35.tar.gz
cd flex-2.5.35
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Using the curl provided in the CentOS distribution will produce a ZOO-Kernel unable to run any Service. Indeed, some segmentation faults occur when trying to run Execute requests on the ZOO-Kernel, compiling the ZOO-Kernel setting USE_GDB flag in the CFLAGS of your Makefile will let you run ZOO-Kernel from gdb and be able to get more information on what is going wrong with your ZOO-Kernel. Doing this we can figure out that code on line 173 and line 175 have to be commented in the ulinet.c file to get a ZOO-Kernel working using the curl available in CentOS (curl version 7.15.5). If you don't apply the modification, you will get an error from a gdb session pointing segfault in Curl_cookie_clearall.

You can optionally compile then install curl from source :

wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.3.tar.bz2
tar xjf curl-7.21.3.tar.bz2
cd curl-7.21.3
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

Compile then install Python :

wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
tar xjf Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
cd Python-2.6.6
./configure
make
make install

Compile then install your own GDAL library :

wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz
tar xzf gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz
cd gdal-1.7.3
./configure  # add your options here
make
make install

Install the Sun JAVA SDK into /usr/share then use the following command to ensure that the libjvm.so will be found at runtime from any context.

echo /usr/share/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/i386/client/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/jvm.conf
ldconfig
