Fedora Core 4 Install Guide

** FEDORA CORE 4 INSTALL with LASSO 8.5.5 **

This assumes you have a fairly base install of Fedora and it already has libssl installed by default.

You must symlink a couple libraries. I did some looking around and it appears that libssl.so.4 is actually named libssl.so.0.9.7# where the #=a letter. on mine its libssl.so.0.9.7f but might be different on yours. Just look in your /lib folder for libssl and symlink it, otherwise lasso won't start (start in console mode to troubleshoot)

# ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7f /lib/libssl.so.4
# ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7f /lib/libcrypto.so.4

Install Java JRE (on my domain for easiness, but you can get the latest from Sun)

# wget http://marcpope.com/jdk-6u6-linux-i586.rpm
# rpm -ivh jdk-6u6-linux-i586.rpm

Symlink JRE because Lasso is looking in the wrong place:

# ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/i386/ /usr/java/latest/lib/i386

Download Lasso 8.5.5l (note: 8.5.6 is in Beta, but not easy to download remotely)

# cd /home
# mkdir downloads
# cd downloads
# wget http://download.lassosoft.com/pub/Lasso85/Lasso_Pro_8.5.5_Lin.tar.gz

Unpack the Lasso download

# tar -zxvf Lasso*

Change to Directory:

# cd Lasso\ Pro\ 8.5.5\ for\ Red\ Hat\ Enterprise\ Linux\ 4/

Before installing Lasso, it will likely complain about a couple of dependencies, just use yum to install them, I had to install these 2:

# yum install libtool-libs libxslt

Install Lasso:

# rpm -ivh Lasso*.rpm

Now just point your browser to your server to initialize Lasso! http://YOUR-DOMAIN-OR-IP-HERE/ServerAdmin.lassoapp

Debugging: If Lasso will not start, please try starting Lasso in Console Mode and look for errors.

# cd ~lasso/Tools
# ./consoleLassoService.sh
