Hi I'm having installation issues with Prince 9 on RedHat. I was told I'm on 6.3, 64 bit, but when I run

cat /etc/redhat-release

, it shows CentOS release 5.10 (Final).

So, I've tried the versions for 6.0 (64 & 32 bit), 5.5 (64 bit), 5.3 (32bit).

I've run this with

rpm -i --test prince-9.0-5.centos52.i386.rpm

and with every version i'm getting dependency issues. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. below is the full log if it helps. Thanks in advance!

Okay, the CentOS 5 package is definitely the one you want. Running "uname -m" should tell you if you want 32-bit or 64-bit. You can install libgif by running "yum install libgif". Good luck!

Thanks so much Mike!!

just fyi for anyone else who sees this, "yum install libgif" didn't work. Instead, "yum install giflib" installs both libgif and libungif.

That's worked now and I've got it up and running

By the way, as someone who isn't as familiar with terminal, it would have been useful to have the CentOS installation instructions in the same way you have the osX and Linux commands - just to make it that much easier.

Thanks again, I'm really impressed with PrinceXML

Great, glad to hear it's working now.

The next step is usually to get some fonts installed on the server.

hmmm... yes. that might be important.

Would that be why I'm getting a 0 byte file when I try to run it now?

Will work on the fonts next

An easy way to install the Microsoft Core Fonts is described here:

yum install curl cabextract xorg-x11-font-utils fontconfig
rpm -i https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm
