  http://www.accessgrid.org/node/420
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=72594

Installation Instructions

If you wish to use yum to easily install the AccessGrid RPMs and automatically retrieve any RPM dependencies, create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/accessgrid3.repo with the following content:

[accessgrid3]
name=AccessGrid Yellowdog $releasever
baseurl=http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/yellowdog/$releasever/$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

If you wish to use the SharedPresentation shared application, then you will also need to also install the openoffice.org-pyuno RPM (not available for x86-64 FC3 & FC4) :

  yum install openoffice.org-pyuno

If you wish to install a version of AccessGrid 2.4 that can be co-installed with 3.0, issue the following:

    yum install compat-AccessGrid-2.4

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

Building from source code

SRPMs and *-devel RPMs required to build the AccessGrid 3.0.2 RPM can be found under http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/yellowdog/

To build the AccessGrid 3.0.2 RPM, issue something like:

    rpmbuild --rebuild AccessGrid-3.0.2-1.src.rpm
