wap gateway installation

[worldtouch]

greeting,

I have built a wap content server and there is a need for me to test out the true wap services in real life. I tried to install the
wap-gateway from different aspect under the following environment:
1. rh linux 6.0
2. wap content server 7x 24 are fully tested ok with stimulator. wap pages are ok.
3. I do not have wap phone and I may to find a way to borrow one from friends of mine.
4. most of the former url e.g.kannel.org, wapit.com....etc are already out of business and it is hard to contact the former engineer.

setting parameter for free wap gateway if successful in stalling wap gateway http://www.wapdrive.com/DOCS/wap_gateway

but first I have to install software from http://www.kannel.3glab.org/download.shtml


>[root@worldcn wap-gateway]# rpm -i kannel-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm
>error: failed dependencies:
> libxml2 >= 2.3.0 is needed by kannel-1.0.3-1
> libxml2.so.2 is needed by kannel-1.0.3-1

So, follow suggestion and search and install the libxml2 rpm package.

>[root@worldcn wap-gateway]# rpm -i kannel-1.0.3-1.src.rpm
>
this will unpack the source in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and from the install file, I found the libxml2.org;


therefore there I tried to install libxml2 and I tried 3 different versions and they are having the same error / warning, and this is out of my hands.



finding in actual feedback:

[root@worldcn wap-gate2]# rpm -i libxml2-2.3.14-1.i386.rpm
only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: libxml2-2.3.14-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
[root@worldcn wap-gate2]# ls

then I tried the older version from

ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/pub/libxml/


[root@worldcn wap-gate2]# rpm -i libxml2-2.3.11-1.i386.rpm
only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM
error: libxml2-2.3.11-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
[root@worldcn wap-gate2]#
q1. what can I do to get a real wap gateway since I have to hurdle a nos of obstacles. what I can do with libxml2 when it is need by the wap gateway. They are chaining each other.

q2. any ideas?

The next time please use paragraphs a little more as it is kinda hard to read your post and tell what the questions are.

You either have to upgrade to a later version of rpm which I believe involves upgrading the rpm database to a newer version.

Can you find the same libraries in tar format that you can compile and install yourself?

[dvdnut]

interesting point

what version of rpm have you got?

may be worth ugpgrading

i think i noticed you had redhat6 of which the rpm version is quite old

worth visiting redhat.com for recommended updated for your version

then try again.

I am using redhat 6.0 and how do I know what rpm version is installed in that linux box.

should I should rpm manager from 6.1 / 7.0 /7.1 . These are windows stype os. linux 6.0 is more like DOS type.

how to install new version of rpm ???

by old rpm itself??????
please enlighten newbie!!!!
