    I followed "The Perfect Server for FEDORA 8" guide and ended blocked up at step 18: installing ISPConfig...

    Needless to say i'm a newbie and tried for several day to find a solution google-ing and searching here on the forum and can't figure it out. I don't understand even where is the problem.
    I would appreciate some help here. And please, pleeease... don't just throw command lines at me (remember, I'm a newbie:( ), but rather try to explain a little what they do. Thank you in advance.

    I use FEDORA 8 x86_64

    Here is the section with the errors:

    checking whether to enable LIBXML support... no
    checking libxml2 install dir... no
    checking for OpenSSL support... yes
    checking for Kerberos support... no

    checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config

    checking for ZLIB support... no
    checking if the location of ZLIB install directory is defined... /usr/lib64
    checking for gzgets in -lz... no

    Please install zlib:
    Code:
    yum install zlib

    Thank you for replying, but no, it's not that. I've already installed it. Besides, I've seen the error myself and tried that.
    Here is the result:

    [root@apollo ~]# yum install zlib
    Setting up Install Process
    Parsing package install arguments
    Package zlib - 1.2.3-14.fc8.i386 is already installed.
    Package zlib - 1.2.3-14.fc8.x86_64 is already installed.
    Nothing to do
    [root@apollo ~]#

    The zlib version is ok. Then I'm not sure why you get this error... :confused:

    I could imagine that the zlib libraries are located in /usr/lib, but not /usr/lib64, or the other way round.

    did you update you Fedoara 8 packages?

    yum update

    It could be that!

    Do you mean Debian Lenny?
    Please try
    Code:
    apt-get install zlib

    Hmm, this thread seems like the one I just posted. I'm having the same types of errors but on CentOS4.6 after following that guide step-by-step. Granted, my situation might be a little different as I was doing it in VMWare and never intend to actually put this server live, but I got those errors as well.

    zlib is up to date for me as well. This is on a 32-bit system. I'm not sure where my zlib directories are located. I checked /usr/lib/ but do not see anything that could be them. However, I cannot figure out how to scroll up in this terminal so I can't even see all the files in the directory since they won't fit in one window....

    ok had the same problem


    mv: cannot stat `spamassassin': No such file or directory

    mv: cannot stat `uudeview': No such file or directory

    mv: cannot stat `clamav'

    went back and did a yum install on these 3 files
    yum install spamassassin
    yum install uudeview
    yum install clamav

    then did a yum update

    then re-ran the the ./setup on the
    cd install_ispconfig file and everything went through no problem.
