Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

I DLed v2.3.1 and untarred it into /opt as a temporary install directory.

As root, i did ./configure as the README instructs. That was OK.

Then I tried "make" and got nothing.

The configure probably failed but I'm unable to say for sure

The configure looked good (or didn't burp too loudly). Here it is below. Now that I look at it closer, it says "configure: error: XSLT configuration could not be found"

Yet -- when I check:
root:/opt/icecast-2.3.1# apt-get install libxslt1.1
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
libxslt1.1 is already the newest version.

I'm perplexed - or am I looking at the wrong thing?

configure: error: XSLT configuration could not be found

[karlH]

As already pointed out elsewhere, whenever someone builds from source then they need the build components of the dependencies. libxslt is required (unlikely some) so configure failed when it could not find what it requires.

From a distribution packaging point of view, libxslt and libxslt-dev/libxslt-devel are not the same. One is a runtime only package for pre-built apps to link against, the other the latter is provides compiler/linker files to link against that library.

Thank you - and I think you're correct. I had assumed that the components were already there as a) I had previously installed a less current version of Icecast via Debian's apt-get utility and b) apt-get claimed that all the components were installed (even after I removed the older version of Icecast).

Paying closer attention to the results of configure and aggressive installation of the various libraries now results in a successful make install.

Thank you.
