We need to prepare our Red Hat or Solaris server for our Blackboard Learn installation. These specific environments will require the installation of additional libraries, which include the following:
apr-1.2.7.11.el5_3.1
(or possible newer version)e2fsprogs-libs-1.39-23.el5
(or possible newer version)gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1
(or possible newer version)glibc-2.5-24
(or possible newer version)libaio-0.3.106-3.2
(or possible newer version)libgcc-4.1.2-46.el5
(or possible newer version)libstdc++-4.1.2-46.el5
(or possible newer version)
The Apache and Tomcat applications will be installed with our Blackboard instance. So we don't need to install these prior to Blackboard Learn Installer. Currently, Blackboard Learn installs Apache 1.3, which is no longer supported by its community. After the installation we can replace this version with Apache 2. We will discuss this in detail in Chapter 9, Security, Reporting, and Configuration in Blackboard...
