[acidrain97]

looks like it, maybe you should try to increase the log level if there are no useful messages in the error log. icecast does wait for about a minute to do the initial add onto the directory, but you should see messages from the yp engine if the log level is high enough.

i changed the logs to 4 increased the file length and so far i see no mention of icecast directory listenings. I checked the server stats and it is public.

I have pinged http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi and that works.

I am very confused on how this works. How do i verify that i compiled icecast with the libcurl? as far as i know it's installed. I'm assuming curl -v is using the libcurl library file?

i checked the server status public = 1

Is there something else i need to look for?
is the config file correct? I know it's a mess but i need a working config file then i can clean it up.

[karlH]

If icecast has been built without libcurl support and a directory is configured then you will see a warning in the error log about it. if it has been built then you should see the directory url being added to the yp engine. as soon as the server starts. Just for information, curl is a utility that uses libcurl to performs the actions requested.

I went back and recompiled icecast. after looking at it curl was not compiled with icecast. Since curl works then one would assume that libcurl is installed. How can i verify this? I am using centos 5.2 if that makes a difference.

thanx

[karlH]

you may have the prebuilt runtime libcurl, but if you are to build icecast with any library then you need the development packages as well. It is mentioned in the documentation. libcurl-devel ?

karl.

[acidrain97]

maybe you can help me find this stuff

root@server [/shit]# rpm -ivh --force libcurl4-7.19.7-1.i386.rpm

tried installing the current version of libcurl and these are the errors i get.

where do you get these files??? is there a centos repo i can get these from??

thanx

[karlH]

with centos being rpm based, you should be able to use yum install libcurl-devel. if you start installing rpms from other repositories then you may very well get into issues of compatible dependencies.

karl.

[acidrain97]

tried that nada... says nothing to do

since i am using the stock yum repos are there ones that contain libcurl-devel?

[karlH]

try libcurl4-devel then, the exact name can vary between distributions.

yum search libcurl should give you a list of possible packages.

karl.

[acidrain97]

yum install libcurl4-devel does nothing


yum search libcurl does this

Does it matter if i'm running cpanel? could that be the problem?

there has to be a easier way to do this.

[karlH]

there it is in the list, yum install curl-devel

karl.

[acidrain97]

ok recompiled someway somehow it works. now where did the icecast bin file go? because i want to put it on my own linux box assuming i can do that.

thanx

[acidrain97]

ok after much tinkering got it to work... after all that

yum install libvorbis-devel speex-devel libtheora-devel libxslt-devel curl-devel

rpm -ivh --force libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh --force libxml2-devel-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.i386.rpm

i guess that is the easy way to make this sucker compile in centos.... for what ever reason i have to reload the libxm2 library otherwise i get a compiling error...

to much work man.... then again i suck at linux. this is how i learn the hard way
