build Ice 3.4.2 on redhat 5.1 64bit

build python 2.7.3 first...the default python version is 2.4.3...out of support..

 

1: steps of python 2.7.3 building

: build sqlite3 first..

 

we omit Tkinter building here due to we don't need this module.

 

run ./configure CFLAGS="-fPIC" --prefix=/usr/local ..

 

sudo make install

 

now we are ready to build all dependencies of Ice...

 

instructions are similar with building on Ubuntu..

 

after that.. start to build Ice itself.

 

sometimes we may experience unreference about Berkeleydb 4.8...

 

one way to work around is to copy all Berkeley db lib files to /cpp/lib and try again.
