Alfresco 4.2c installation on Debian Squeeze (amd64)

[brgsousa]

Hi,
I am trying to run the alfresco installer (alfresco-community-4.2.c-installer-linux-x64.bin) but it keeps requesting for some libraries.

Some or all of the libraries necessary to support LibreOffice were not found on your system: fontconfig libSM libICE libXrender libXextYou are strongly advised to abort this installation and install them first using your package manager.For more information, please refer to http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/install-lolibfiles.html‍‍‍‍‍

I have installed these packages ttf-dejavu-core fontconfig-config libfontconfig1 libsm6 libxrender1 libxext6 libice6 libxt6 but the issue remains.

This is my sources.list file:

deb http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ squeeze maindeb-src http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ squeeze maindeb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates maindeb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'deb http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates maindeb-src http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi
I never faced this problem( i am using CentOS).
I think on custom installation option, give the option to install or use the default alfreso office suite. This will help in avoiding the above mentioned error.
You dont need the OS installed office suite, since alfresco comes with it
Like to hear ur feedback

The message occurs before anything:

Hi,

I have Debian 6.0.7 Squeeze 64x (amd64) and tried to install Alfresco 4.2.c from the ..64.bin file.

Installed successfully the libraries suggested on documentation:
http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Ftasks%2Fsimpleinstall-...

Then, created the symlinks to match with ".so" extensions for the libraries in /usr/lib directory.

The error persists:

Some or all of the libraries necessary to support LibreOffice were not found on your system: fontconfig libSM libICE libXrender libXextYou are strongly advised to abort this installation and install them first using your package manager.For more information, please refer to http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/install-lolibfiles.html Do you want to continue with the installation?

Any ideas?

I saw that you have mentioned that u installed the libraries, but I think you may be you might have missed the all required library installation

 sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1‍‍‍

Can you please cross check

Sorry for the delay, here there are the results when I try to install the libraries. From my point of view there´s nothing to do with the  library installation, but help would be appreciated:

apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1

Hello again,

I tried to install LibreOffice then tried to install the suggested libraries:
apt-get install libfontconfig1 libsm6 libice6 libxrender1 libxt6

Same result, I cannot install Alfresco.

Is there something else I could do?

Thanks.

In case it gets deleted, the post suggests:

<blockquote>
apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1

apt-get install libgif4 libjpeg62 libpng12-0 libstdc++5 libxinerama1

I hope that helps.

Hi all,
the same problem for me!
SO: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS x64
Alfresco: 4.2.c

This works for me:

$ sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1$ cd /usr/lib$ sudo mkdir x86_64-linux-gnu$ sudo cp libICE.so.6 libSM.so.6 libXext.so.6 libXrender.so.1 libfontconfig.so.1 x86_64-linux-gnu‍‍‍‍‍‍
