Icecast Streaming Media Server

Hello there,

I was previously using shoutcast streaming server on my 32bit machine, but since upgrading to a 64bit I'm no longer able to use shoutcast as per http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=c1f73391ddf2ee498c4d4ed83fa7c4d5&threadid=286779

Is icecast compatible with a 64bit machine?

Thanks!

Also, I'm on a linux box running CENTOS 5.3

A 64bit platform is not a problem for icecast.

Is there any documentation for installation for Centos 5? My host tried installing IceCast on my server which runs Centos 5, but the installation failed.

Any help is appreciated.

The process is no different on centos to any other unix platform, either install a pre-built package or build from source using the usual configure/make/make install process.

I contacted my host and this is what they had to say:

obviously, this is remarkably vague and we are not the support group for centos but centos is a rpm based distro and yum is the utility to use on there. to install packages. If they are saying that they tried to use that and failed then there need to be clear on that. As I said previously, they can also build from source, they just have to decide which route to go. yum installs prebuilt packages, quite trivial but they should already know that.

A simple google search has yielded this page

Hello Karl,

My host has tried the installation once more and they ran into some problems. Have you come across this?

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libxslt.so: undefined reference to `xmlXPathContextSetCache'

This has come up before. The libxslt library being referenced refers to a function that does not exist in your libxml2 library. This isn't an icecast error as such but icecast does use those libraries. Tell them that the versions of those 2 libraries need to be compatible. Maybe they have just forgot to update the system?

I have a RPM buid for CentOS 5, 64 bits..
You can grab on my site.
This build has been made from original Fedora 10 RPM.

You can install it with:
yum localinstall icecast-2.3.2-5.x86_64.rpm

If this can help Smile

If you need source RPMP, you can grab it too, simply replace arch (x86_64) with src...

I built it as I could not get a working one...
