    How to install Mumble server (MurMur) to Fedora 10?

    Hello!

    So, I have a problem with installing MurMur, the VoIP program Mumble's server. I can't seem to find any RPM's of MurMur version 1.1.7 for Fedora 10. I went to their official sites and I only found tar.gz and tar.bz2, but I've got no idea what to do with them. Could someone help me on this one, please?

    Hi Poro. If you have a .tar.gz file you need to extract the contents and then usually need to compile the program. Basically, as root
    Code:
    tar xfvz murmur.tar.gz (or whatever the file is called)
    cd murmur (or whatever folder the contents were extracted to)
    ./configure
    make
    make install
    If you get this far you should be able to run the program. What's the actual file name?

    I've downloaded this program and ended up with a file called murmur-static_x86-1.1.7.tar.bz2 . To extract the contents I issued the commands
    Code:
    sudo bunzip2 murmur-static_x86-1.1.7.tar.bz2
    sudo tar xvfz murmur-static_x86-1.1.7.tar
    That left me with a new sub-folder in my download folder called murmur-static_x86-1.1.7. Looking at the contents of the new folder reveals this:
    Code:
    [glenn@coolhand murmur-static_x86-1.1.7]$ ls -la
    total 10040
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root      4096 2009-02-17 07:28 .

    Hello Glenn!

    First of all, thanks for your help! I tried doing what you suggested, but I got following error:

    Code:
    [root@Serveri Download]# sudo tar xvfz murmur-static_x86-1.1.7.tar
    
    gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
    tar: Child returned status 1
    tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
    Would you know what's the problem now?

    Yes, I gave you the wrong command. It should be sudo tar xfv murmur-static_x86-1.1.7.tar. That will extract the files into a new sub-folder, murmur-static_x86-1.1.7. cd to that folder and you will see several files. Where to go from here, I'm not sure.

    There's an .rpm here, http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=mumble. I downloaded and installed it without incident. Be sure to scroll down the page and find / download the one for Fedora 10. Filename is mumble-1.1.6-10.1.i386.rpm. I installed with
    Code:
    sudo rpm -ivh mumble-1.1.6-10.1.i386.rpm
    Have you had a look here, http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Installing_Mumble ??

    Thank you again! Now I only have one problem, I can't run it. MurMur readme file says that I need to go to the folder I have it installed and type following line to the terminal:

    Code:
    murmurd [-supw <password>] [-ini <inifile>] [-fg] [v]
    I have made it look like this:

    Code:
    murmurd [-supw pass] [-ini murmur.ini] [-fg] [v]
    When I insert this line to terminal, it gives me following error:

    Code:
    [l4d1@Serveri murmur-static_x86-1.1.7]$ murmurd [-supw pass] [-ini murmur.ini] [-fg] [v]
    bash: murmurd: command not found
    How can I run the program now?

    I'm sorry about the what seem to be pretty basic questions, but I'm new to Linux and Fedora.

    EDIT: You sent your post above this one while I was writing, so I'll answer it here. I have had a look at the installation guide, but it wasn't of any help to me. I did try to install that package by downloading it from the OpenSUSE site and double clicking it, but it gave me error about missing libraries. I guess I should try installing it with that command, but I believe it would be better to get the 1.1.7 version working.

    The rpm I downloaded and installed was simply easier than mucking with the .tar.gz version.

    No need to apologize for asking questions and being a new Linux user. That's what this forum is about. I enjoy the challenge of trying to help users install software. Although I'm far from the most knowledgeable member here I'll at least give it a shot. That said, here I sit, no work today so I'm fixing someone's PC, need to call someone else back later as apparently they have 2 computers that need work and I'm trying to help you. Keeps me busy.

    I'll have a look at launching this application and post back in a bit.

    Well, I think that there's a serious problem here. I've installed the rpm file but the program is not shown as installed if I use rpm -qa | grep mumble. Same thing if I search murmur.

    Thanks for trying. Is there anyway you can bypass that problem?

    Not me. I'm not that smart Hopefully someone with more experience with rpm will pop in here and suggest something.
