Linux distributions are updated at a fast pace. Faster then we can update the official manuals.
In this thread we document the minimal set of required packages that need to be installed on top of a base installation of common Linux distributions prior to the installation of the current SDK version.
Please let us know of any other distributions or versions that you were able to install the SDK on successfully and we will update the list with your input. It would be great if you could provide a minimal set of packages that needed to be installed, too.
Please be aware that at the moment we have only validated 32 bit distributions but we would gladly include 64 bit versions as well.
Redhat-based distributions
Fedora 11, Fedora Core 6, Fedora Core 5
CentOS 5.3, CentOS 5.2
optional but recommended packages
Debian-based distributions:
Debian Lenny 5.0.2
Ubuntu 9.04, 8.10, 8.04
optional but recommended packages
