Install Issue - Missing libidn-dev
  • I posted a few days ago with a host related question. I decided it was easier for me to setup with a new host so I did so. This host brought with it some issues I am moving through and was hoping I might be able to get steered in the right direction. I already installed ImageMagick since it wasn't installed. Upon reexectuing ./install.sh I was given the following error:

    Checking ADMIN_INTERFACE module dependencies...file libidn.so not found in /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/lib:/usr/lib64
    Could not find IDN library. Please install libidn-dev package.
    Could not find IDN library. Please install libidn-dev package.
    There is a dependecy problem. Please read the previous message and
    install the required program/package.

    Is this a seperate package or part of something else? I can't seem to locate a .tar for it. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Thanks both of the responses were helpful. I made it through to my net hang and I am working it through as I write this. I am having an issue connecting to the dbase.
