For Channel Archiver installation refer to Channel Archiver Manual, Chapter 8: Setup, Installation.

On Scientific Linux (version 4.1, gcc 3.4.3) the following should be taken in account in addition to Channel Archive Manual's instructions:


w3c-libwww-devel

The w3c-libwww sources supplied with archiver did compile but xmlrpc's configure didn't find it (probably path/location issues). I just grabbed the package from internet and it worked ok; 

su -c "yum install w3c-libwww-devel"

xml rpc

I applied both patches mentioned in the manual and changed line 104 in extensions/src/ChannelArchiver/ThirdParty/xmlrpc-c-0.9.9/src/validatee.c where 

default:

was changed to 

default:;

in order to prevent compiler error.

xerces

Added 

#include <xercesc/framework/MemoryManager.hpp>

to 

extensions/src/ChannelArchiver/ThirdParty/xercesc/util/RefArrayOf.hpp

as mentioned in manual.

XML-Simple and Frontier

Worked exactly as described in manual.

Some general notes

/usr/local/bin is not by default included in path which causes archiver making (when calling xmlrpc-c-config) to fail. Just 

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

I omited 'o' switch when extracting third party archives to prevent "Cannot change ownership" errors.

Remember to run make in extensions/configure prior to making ChannelArchiver.
