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

Poro · #1 14th February 2009, 04:51 PM

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?

Anyone know how to do this?

Anyone have any idea? I would very much appreciate any help on this!

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

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?

***glennzo*** · #7 17th February 2009, 12:59 PM

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.

***glennzo*** · #8 17th February 2009, 01:17 PM

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.

***glennzo*** · #10 17th February 2009, 01:41 PM

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.

Poro · #12 17th February 2009, 02:41 PM

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

***glennzo*** · #13 17th February 2009, 07:20 PM

Not me. I'm not that smart

Hopefully someone with more experience with rpm will pop in here and suggest something.

Poro · #14 17th February 2009, 07:53 PM

Ok, I understand. Thanks for the time you took for helping me.

***glennzo*** · #15 17th February 2009, 08:17 PM

You're welcome. Wish I could have done more.
