====== Greenstone 2.70 Install on Solaris ======

(thanks to Courtney Grimland)

**Target Platform:**
  * SunOS felix 5.9 Generic_118558-25 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100

**XML-Parser:**

I chose to install XML-Parser myself since I couldn't get it to happen
with the gsdl installation.

  * Download and unpack XML-Parser-2.34 from CPAN's site
  * My expat was installed from blastwave.org's pkg-get script, so I had to add /opt/csw/lib and /opt/csw/include to the top of Makefile.PL
 perl Makefile.PL
  * Edit Makefile and Expat/Makefile:
    * change all occurances of cc to /opt/sfw/gcc-3/bin/gcc
    * remove all values for OPTIMIZE (my gcc didn't like those) on lines 334 and 216, respectively
 gmake; gmake test; gmake install

**GSDL:**

  * Use GNU tar to unpack gsdl-2.70-unix.tar.gz (Sun puts it in /opt/sfw/bin and calls it gtar).  Solaris tar did not work.
  * I installed gdbm via the blastwave.org pkg-get script, so I had to edit Unix/Install.sh on line 1612 to add "--with-gdbm=/opt/csw"
<code>
 export CC=/opt/sfw/gcc-3/bin/gcc
 export CXX=/opt/sfw/gcc-3/bin/g++
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/gcc-3/lib
 export MAKE=/opt/sfw/bin/gmake
</code>
  * Remove any mention of expat and XML-Parser from src/packages/Makefile.in and src/packages/configure
  * Make sure /usr/ccs/bin is in the PATH because that's where strip and ar live (this is what was causing the end of Install.sh to fail and not ask for an admin password)
  * Finally, cd into Unix/ and run "bash Install.sh".  Relying on #!/bin/sh will not work.
    * I installed into /opt but chose the default answer for the rest of the questions
*My resulting library binary failed to execute until I added /opt/sfw/gcc-3/lib into the system's ld.config:
<code>
 crle -c /var/ld/ld.config -l /opt/sfw/gcc-3/lib
</code>
**Apache:**
*Followed the instructions for modifying apache:
    * Added /opt/gsdl/cgi-bin as a cgi dir
    * Aliased /opt/gsdl to greenstone

After these steps I can access the default gsdl setup via ''http://myhost.mydomain.edu/greenstone/cgi-bin/library''
