Re: [open-cobol-list] Install openCobol on a Red Hat System

[michael]

I haven't installed OC in a long time, but since no one else is saying 
anything I will add my $0.02:

When you install OC, did you go through a config & make process, if so, 
did the config do many tests on your machine. The configuration phase of 
the install interogates your software environment, it is this phase of 
the install that will tell you what is missing.

Also: I use ClearOS, which is just a copy of Centos with minor upgrade 
enhancements, and Centos is RedHat, and so on...... What I recall is 
ncurses and libdb where both missing, and using yum I was able to 
install them before doing the OC make.

If this doesn't make since, I recommend Ubuntu, the desktop version.
I have Ubuntu on my laptop, from the synaptic package manager I 
installed OC in about 4 or 5 clicks, maybe 7 clicks, I can't remember. 
Point is, it is so easy a caveman could do it. The package manager is a 
rev or two back, but it does work. Also the package manager will install 
of the necessary dependencies, and therefore you maybe able to install 
the latest version of OC afterward.
