Ubnuntu installation woes

Hello all,

I've been struggling a bit to get Varnish installed on an Ubuntu 8.10
intrepid. I started with the apt-get method, but that produced a
really badly out of date release. Then, I've been working by
installing from source. I ran into a problem that Kristian helped me
with in the #varnish IRC room. Apparently, I need to add
"/usr/local/lib" to "/etc/ld.member:so.conf" in order to get the
libraries loaded. I was getting errors about "varnishd: error while
loading shared libraries: libvarnish.so.1" before this.

Kristian suggested that I should drop a note to the mailing list about
this. I'm wondering if:

a) The wiki might be updated to have more detail installation
instructions that cover this potential issue.

b) another person in IRC suggested that there was a debian package in
the svn repo, but I wasn't able to get that working. Perhaps there are
some instructions that could be added to the wiki about that?

c) The apt-get-able package might be updated somehow, perhaps I should
put in a request elsewhere about this, though.

Thanks very much for your work on Varnish. I've had excellent test
results with it, and I've used it on Heroku and been very impressed so
far.

Hi Yann,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not really sure what you mean! Can you
please explain in a bit more detail? I'm not really an expert when it
comes to installing packages like this, and I need a bit more to go on
:)

OK,

switch your sources.list to karmic ( sed -i.hardy 's/hardykarmic/g'
/etc/apt/sources.list ).
apt-get update && apt-get source varnish
rollback your sources.list (with my sed command you have a backup) and
buildpackage.

launch dpkg-buildpackage in varnish dir, after that you have backported the
latest varnish in ubuntu hardy.

Umm, how about:

% svn co http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/svn/tags/varnish-2.0.4
% cd varnish-2.0.4/varnish-cache
% dpkg-buildpackage

Actually, this seems to be working. I think you need to do this:

% apt-get update
% apt-get install subversion autotools-dev automake1.9 libtool
autoconf libncurses-dev xsltproc quilt
% svn co http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/svn/tags/varnish-2.0.4
% cd varnish-2.0.4/varnish-cache
% dpkg-buildpackage
% cd ..
% dpkg -i libvarnish1_2.0.4-6_i386.deb
% dpkg -i varnish_2.0.4-6_i386.deb

I think I'm close to getting it working as Yann suggested, but this
way seems a bit easier.

What do you guys think about putting something like this into the
wiki? I'm hoping to save someone the trouble I've been through when
they try to set Varnish up.

Thanks again for the help, everyone. I wrote a blog post that tries to
step through the steps I'm using to get Varnish cooperating with nginx
to run a Ruby app using Sinatra and Passenger. I know, it's a mouthful
:)

http://almosteffortless.com/2009/10/22/installing-varnish-with-nginx-passenger-and-monit-on-ubuntu-8-10-intrepid/

Any feedback is more than welcome.
