Hi, I am trying to install twiki thru "install scripts" under "virtual server" . I got this error when i click on "show install option "[color=#FF0000]"This script cannot be installed, as it requires the following commands : rcs"[/color] . Is there anything should be done before the script installation?
Thanks
Nay
p.s I am using EC2 pro AMI "ami-6d4ca904"<br><br>Post edited by: nay, at: 2008/12/18 11:12
Yeah, though there should be a package with your distro to provide rcs.
For example, if you’re using CentOS/RHEL, you can type:
yum install rcs
Or for Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install rcs
yes indeed, centos has it anyway … would be a lot easier then compiling it yourself
Thanks for the info. I tried and i got this

Something wrong?
Thanks
Sorry below is the complete one. I am using "shell command" under webmin

Hrm, that’s not the expected behavior from yum 
What distro/version are you using? And did you run all that as root?
Also, what do you get if you run this first:
yum update
Followed by the "yum install rcs".

Could you try logging in over SSH rather than using Webmin’s shell? Yum probably uses the Ncurses library to display it’s output, and that may be why it’s not working right through Webmin.
Alternatively, you could go into Webmin -> System -> Software Packages and install rcs from within there.

Sorry, I am new to linux.
I tried "su root" and yum update
I still got the same error

thanks
Thanks Eric
It is working when I try from Webmin -> System -> Software Packages … Must be the user level. I’ve installed rcs and twiki. btw, in webmin>commandshell how do you login as root?
Thanks
i suspect it needs a human to enter yes at the question and its not coming.
try logging in over SSH as Eric suggested.
Thanks ronald. i will try it.
The Software Packages module can also install the package for you…if you must use Webmin.
But, as ronald mentioned, you can’t run an interactive application in the Command Shell. (So, you could use “yum -y install rcs”. But there is a module specifically for installing packages, so if you’re going to use Webmin, use the module for the purpose.)
