AGTk 2.4 Installation for Fedora Core 3 & 4

The AGTk RPMs can be manually downloaded and installed or alternatively the yum package manager which is included with Fedora can be used. Yum provides automatic downloading and installation of packages that you specify and also retrieves any missing dependencies.

There are some AGTk RPM dependencies on the wxPython/wxGTK2 RPMs from Fedora Extras. On Fedora Core 4, Fedora Extras is already enabled. On Fedora Core 3, create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo with the following content:

[extras]
name=Fedora Extras - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras

Create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-accessgrid.repo with the following content:

[accessgrid]
name=AccessGrid Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC$releasever/stable/RPMS/$basearch/ enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

If you need to use a http proxy with yum, set the http_proxy environment variable to the URL of your proxy. e.g. "http://your_proxy:port". See the yum man page for more details.

On the command line as root, issue the following:

  yum install AccessGrid

After installation, logout and login to allow the new GNOME/KDE Access Grid menu to take effect.

If you wish to use the Shared Presentation application, then you will also need to also install the openoffice.org-pyuno RPM (not available for x86-64 Fedora) :

  yum install openoffice.org-pyuno
