As Red Hat 9 and Enterprise Linux 3 are very close relatives of Fedora Core 1, it should be no surprise that the Fedora Core 1 AGTk 2.4 RPMs are suitable for these versions of Red Hat.
[ Red Hat Enterprise 4 is based on Fedora Core 3, so the Fedora Core 3 AGTk 2.4 (i386 or x86-64) RPMs should be suitable for RHEL 4. ]
Pre-Installation
If you have an older version of AGTk installed, see the Fedora Core 1 instructions for removing older AGTk versions.
Red Hat 9 Prerequisites
Upgrade to python-optik-1.4.1-1.noarch.rpm from Fedora Core 1. With Python 2.2, AGTk 2.4 requires the optparse forward-compatibility wrapper which only comes with Optik 1.4.1 or later.
Upgrade to PyXML-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm from Fedora Core 1 as the VenueServer requires the newer PyXML package.
Red Hat Enterprise 3 Prerequisites
Upgrade to PyXML-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm from Fedora Core 1 as the VenueServer requires the newer PyXML package.
The Red Hat Enterprise standard kernel packages don't have support for Video4Linux, so the appropriate unsupported kernel package needs to be installed. Each kernel package has a corresponding unsupported kernel package, e.g. in the case of kernel-2.4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm, it is kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm. The unsupported kernel package contains extra modules for those drivers which are present in the Kernel.Org kernel, but have not been tested by Red Hat, Inc.
Issue something like the following (with the appropriate unsupported kernel package), which will install the Video4Linux drivers and then get kudzu to detect the Video4Linux devices after a reboot:
rpm -i kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-20.EL.i686.rpm
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.4.21-20.EL
rm /etc/sysconfig/hwconf
reboot
Installation
To download and install the RPMs, issue :
wget -r -nd -np -l 1 -A rpm http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC1/stable/RPMS/i386/ rpm -ihv *.rpm
Note: vanilla Red Hat 9 comes with OpenOffice1.0.2 which won't satisfy the dependencies for the downloaded openoffice.org-pyuno-1.1.0 RPM. The openoffice.org-pyuno RPM is only required for the Shared Presentation tool and can be deleted before installing the other AGTk 2.4 RPMs.
