sles 10 (x86) installation fails - xmlback problems

[macdev3]

After following the installguide for suse Openemm version 6.0.1 starts with floating point errors, I can connect to the gui but no mails are sent.
After googeling an checking the forum I am still no step further.

Startup looks like this:

I checked if building from source would solve the problem but building xmlback fails:

I did check on dependencies an versions but everything I found in the supportforum according to this seems to be okay.
python is version 2.4.2 , libxml2(-devel/-python) 2.6, slang(-devel) 2.0.5, glibc 2.4 what else could be missing?

What else could be wrong? Even tried to use the xmlback from the Openemm 6.1 binaries
Is Suse no longer a supported plattform?

Same problem happened to me after upgrading from 6.1 to 6.2. First i thought this would be a problem of the automated update process and thus installed OpenEMM-6.2 manually. But the problem is still there. Surely there is a very simple reason which is easily to solve, but only i don't have any idea

any help?

I had the same probs. I've tried to build xmlback, smctrl (which didn't work, floating point exception de la mort partout) and SLang_Error undeclared and other things append.

I'm on gentoo, and i noticed the slang lib was 2.1.x, so i've unmerged it, took the 'OLD' one in src's contrib folder (slang 1.4.9), and some "configure,make,make install" later, the building of xmlback and smctrl worked !! (youhouuuuu, cool raoul, tranquille le chat, pepere la mouette)

So:
- unmerge/unistall your uptodate slang lib if > 2.x
- build the old one (1.4.9) in contrib folder and make install
- build lib/tool/bav/xmlback/etc...

Soooory for the very bad english, but i'm banging my head on wall since this morning on this....

Just for info: We build the binary tarball of OpenEMM out of the source tarball with Ant script openemm_build.xml ourselves. So, everything you need is included in the source tarball. We use a plain-vanilla CentOS 5.5 (= RedHat 5.5). If you need info on the version of tools like gcc (4.1.2) or libraries like glibc (2.5) just ask.

Cool. Thanks for letting know! Will try it ASAP.
