[RDD] Rivendell on Red Hat 9

This is the abridged version of how I got Rivendell running on Red Hat 9. Much back-tracking deleted.

Biggest hurdle is getting Qt3 built from source, because I couldn't find an rpm.

JACK is already installed because I also use Nando's 'apt' for package install (planet-ccrma) so my box is basicallly a RH9 that has been JACK-ified with 'apt-get install planetccrma-audioapps'.

see http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/

CAVEAT: Qt's 'make install' still didn't drop the binaries into RH's favoured /usr/bin. I have added $QTDIR et al to ~/.bash_profile as per the Qt INTALL doco as a workaround,viz:

--snip--
QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin
MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

...someone may pick up what I missed...
GPC.
PS this is not a HOWTO...  feel free to shoot holes...

cd
wget http://public.ftp.planetmirror.com.au/pub/trolltech/qt/source/qt-x11-free-3.3.2.tar.bz2
apt-get install mysql-devel (...or rpm -Uvh path/to/mysql-devel-x.x.x-x.rpm...)
cd /usr/local
tar jxvf ~/qt-x11-free-3.3.2.tar.bz2
# essential Qt make stuff
./configure -prefix /usr -qt-sql-mysql -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql
make
make install
mkdir -p ~/src/salem
cd ~/src/salem
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/cvs/srl login
# when asked for password just press the enter key.
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/cvs/srl co libradio rivendell
cd libradio
./autogen ; configure --prefix=/usr ; make
su -c 'make install'
cd ../rivendell
./autogen.sh ; ./configure --prefix=/usr ; make
su -c 'make install'
... mysql may well work out of the box with no root password, but my philisophical inclination wouldn't let me use it..
mysql -u root
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('new_password');
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO me@localhost
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'my_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> \q
<do all the /var/snd & /etc/rd.conf stuff here a-la Rivendell INSTALL doco>
rdadmin
I can now access 'mysql -u <me> -p Rivendell'
SHOW TABLES;
\q
<enter-my_pass-when-prompted>
telinit 4 & away we go!
PS <off-topic>I have tried getting JACK to start a generic iniscript but cannot get it to detach. Jack starts but the init script hangs. Any Ideas? </off-topic>

Also, attached is the rivendell daemon script hacked for Red Hat
move to /etc/rc.d/init.d
install the SYSV symlinks with the command (as root):
# chkconfig --add rivendell
by default it only runs in runlevel 4 (my choice).  Change that with:
# chkconfig --level 345 rivendell on (...or whatever runlevels you want)

PS thanks for the JACK fix Fred. Got this far over the weekend & thought I was going spare with caed! :)
