Install OpenNMS on openSUSE 12.2

Install OpenNMS on OpenSUSE 12.2

Problem is, RPM packages are provided for RHEL/Centos/Fedora, but not Suse. There is also a general installation, so I use this

Install JDK > 1.5

Oracle java is recommended, but I will try openjdk 1.7 since I already have it installed.

# javac -version
javac 1.7.0_15

Install Postgres

• There is a postgresql for OpenSUSE, so I will install that one

zypper install postgresql postgresql-server

• Create config files by starting postgres once

rcpostgresql start

• Configure postresql as described on openNMS page

Install iplike

sudo zypper install postgresql-devel rpm-build
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/opennms/files/IPLIKE/stable-2.0/iplike-2.0.3.tar.gz
tar xzf iplike-2.0.3.tar.gz
cd iplike-2.0.3
./configure
make rpm
sudo rpm -ihv ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/iplike-2.0.3-1.x86_64.rpm

Install jicmp

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/opennms/files/JICMP/stable-1.4/jicmp-1.4.0.tar.gz
rpmbuild --nodeps -tb --target=x86_64 jicmp-1.4.0.tar.gz
sudo rpm -ihv ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/jicmp-1.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm

--nodeps required because openjdk is not detected

Install OpenNMS

jdk 1.7 not supported yet (compile errors)

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/opennms/files/OpenNMS-Source/stable-1.10.8/opennms-source-1.10.8-1.tar.gz
tar xzf opennms-source-1.10.8-1.tar.gz 
cd opennms-1.10.8-1
sed -i 's/^BuildRequires/# BuildRequires/' tools/packages/opennms/opennms.spec
./makerpm.sh

Comment out BuildRequires because jdk is not recognized
