I've done a lot of searching and reading on the DA forum and everyone seems to have their own custom list of libraries that they install before installing DA. When I read the DA Installation Guide, it only says to install "gcc g++ perl".

I'm finding more than just those, having to install:
gcc
gcc-c++
nano
wget
make
perl
perl-libwww-perl

What other libraries "must" be installed for DA to install/work/function correctly?

Thanks.
 
The extra (some from RPMForge) packages I install (most of the packages you name are standard compiled in our systems) are

gcc gcc-c++ flex bison htop mc iptraf sysstat quota iptables autoconf dbus perl-libwww-perl libcat-devel

Where you will definetly need:

- quota
- iptables
- dbus (for named starting errors on CentOS 5.5)
- gcc
-gcc-c++
 
Thanks! That helps. I'm not complaining, but it would be nice if the DA Install Guide was updated to reflect which additional libraries are needed for a good installation.

When I tried to install dbus, I get the following:

I am running a 64-bit version of CentOS 5.5 - is there another way to install/update dbus?
