install digital library

i want install in my ubuntu 8.04 server greenstone for making digital library but always failed anybody knows how to install it, i try install from greenstone.bin, svn, binnary but the result still failed. help me pls.

Open a Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal and cd to the directory where the file is located. For this example I'll assume the file is on the desktop:

cd ~/desktop

the next thing to do is to make the file executable:

chmod +x Greenstone-2.81-linux.bin

next install the program:

sudo ./Greenstone-2.81-linux.bin

The above command will install Greenstone, from there refer to the installation manual to finish setting Greenstone up.

how i can solved my problem ?

We have used the GSDL software from UW in NZ under windows but it was orginally developed for Linux and then ported so we wanted to try it out on Ubuntu. The longer term goal is to then use the server install with the Ubuntu server machine so that it can do OAI and Z39.50 harvesting.

Anyway Greenstone has some dependencies, you need a JVM and the ImageMagick image processing utilities. We had installed Java a long time ago so all we needed to do is to run the package manager an install imagemagick.

Next it is off to the Greenstone home page at http://www.greenstone.org/download to get gsdl-2.80-unix.tar.gz and to open it with the archive manager. We drag the gsdl-2.80-unix folder to our home directory and take a look at the readme file. The home page says:

To install this distribution, extract the gzipped tar archive and run the setupLinux.bin Java-based Installer program. Alternatively, run the Install.sh shell script from within the gsdl-X.XX-unix/Unix directory (see the Installer's Guide for more detailed installation instructions).
