Hi,

I wanted to test the new version 5.1. (alfresco-community-installer-201512-EA-linux-x64.bin) on Ubuntu because I was interested in the new feature virtual folders.

But when I try to install I get:
./alfresco-community-installer-201512-EA-linux-x64.bin –mode text
Some or all of the libraries needed to support LibreOffice were not found on your system: fontconfig libSM libICE libXrender libXextlibcups libGLU
You are strongly advised to stop this installation and install the libraries.


I already installed these packages before (Because I installed Alfresco 5.0d before and the installation was without problems):

Alfresco:~$ sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libcups2

libice6 is already the newest version.
libsm6 is already the newest version.
libxt6 is already the newest version.
libcups2 is already the newest version.
libfontconfig1 is already the newest version.
libxrender1 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

So what packages do I have exactly to install?

Thanks in Advance

I solved this now, two packages were missing.

First install these packages:
sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libcups2 libxinerama1 libglu1-mesa
Then I started the installation in textmode:
./alfresco-community-installer-201512-EA-linux-x64.bin –mode text

Ubuntu solution for alfresco5.2 and above:

sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libcups2 libglu1-mesa libcairo2 libgl1-mesa-glx
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
ln -s mesa/libGL.so.1 ./libGL.so.1

actually all libraries locate in "mesa" folder.. but alfresco will not check this folder... so we need to link to the main folder... this resolves for the about error.. during alfresco installation in ubuntu..

Thanks
