help needed urgent-problem installing icecast server in rhel5 server

[piyushml20]

can somebody tell me the detailed procedure to install icecast server
in rhel5 server edition.

i download the various tarballs and then run

./configure
make
make install

the documentation is created in /usr
but no config file /etc/icecast.xml is present there.

[waterhead]

The documentation is created in this location:
/usr/local/share/doc/icecast/

The icecast.xml file can be found here:
/usr/local/etc/icecast.xml

Many of the documents can be viewed in the source folder, under the /doc folder.

it is just doc files for help.i dunno know whether it will work or not but i find the soln at

Icecast Streaming Media Server :: View topic - Centos 5 + Icecast + Tears.

can u plz tell me how 2 build the rpm from the tar balls.

[waterhead]

Why do you need to build a rpm? Just install from the source.

There are some existing rpms of icecast.

RPM Search icecast-2.3.1-4.el5.kb.i386.rpm
RPM Search icecast-2.3.1-4.el5.kb.x86_64.rpm

Hello and Welcome!
Check this link for creating RPMS from tarballs, it should at least set you in the right direction.

the icecast server is done but problm with ices-the audio source.
i cannot find any rpm for ices.there r just tar.gz
i tried using
./configure
make
make install
but i exactly dont know how to install from that.
that's why i wanna built rpm

[MikeTbob]

Sometimes it is easier to install from source rather than build rpms. Why don't you try again and post the error messages, I'm sure someone can help you with it.
./configure
make
make install

I gave a try installing ices from the source. I assume that you want the mp3 one so that is what i tried. I used ices-0.4.tar.gz

There are a few prerequisites that need to be installed. If you want to be able to include source files of different formats, you need the developmental branch of the file types.

From the README file

5. Vorbis, FLAC and MP4 transcoding
If compiled with the appropriate libraries, ices can transcode
Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and MP4 (AAC) audio files to MP3 on the fly. Keep
your sources in whatever format you like best.

I went through the ./configure process, and got a few errors. Each time installing a few things to correct the error or enable more supported formats. Here are some of the things that I installed on my Fedora 10 box. You will need these too:

libshout-devel

Also required by libshout-devel:
libtheora-devel
speex-devel

lame-devel
flac-devel
libvorbis-devel

Then running the ./configure command, it automatically checks for the various support and gave me this output:

Compiling with: -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/python2.5 -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/include -pthread
Linking with: -L/usr/lib/python2.5/config -lshout -lvorbis -lm -ltheora -lspeex -logg -lxml2 -lz-lm -lpython2.5 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lmp3lame -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -lm
Features:
XML : yes
Python : yes
Perl : no
LAME : yes
Vorbis : yes
MP4 : no
FLAC : no

I have flac-devel installed, yet it still won't give me that support. I then installed this:

faad2-devel

And now it gives me this:

Compiling with: -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/python2.5 -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/include -pthread
Linking with: -L/usr/lib/python2.5/config -lshout -lvorbis -lm -ltheora -lspeex -logg -lxml2 -lz-lm -lpython2.5 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lmp3lame -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -lFLAC -lm
Features:
XML : yes
Python : yes
Perl : no
LAME : yes
Vorbis : yes
MP4 : no
FLAC : yes

Good enough! Someone else can figure out the other missing libraries!

I ran the make command, but it gave me flac erors, so I had to rerun it, removing flac support.

./configure --without-flac

Now running make and make install commands installed the program. This should get you pretty far. You will have to work out any other dependency problems. By using Red Hat, you won't be able to install dependencies from a repository. You will have to hunt them down and install them manually.

Very Nice Paul!

the whole problem is in the krb5 dependency.
when i update krb5-workstation it mention it require krb5-lib.
when i update krb5-lib it mention it is being used by installed krb5-workstation.
