[mapguide-users] Installing Gentoo 2006.1 and MapGuide v1.1.0.301

Great job Chris; I'm sure that this will be very helpful for others.  

As we get more established I'd love to be able to set up packages for various distributions, so you could just "emerge fdo_3_3_0; emerge mapguide 1.2" :)

One point; to prevent directory browsing in Apache, you can set Options -Indexes.  There's another way, but I like this better because you can override it in specific directories if needed.

After playing with this technology on Linux for a few days, I finally got things working on an Intel based P4 2.0 with 512MB of memory. I offer this manual as a supplement or a proven path to get MGOS running on Linux. Feel free to post this on the OSGEO site as a backup source if you feel inclined.


Needed files:
http://mapguide.osgeo.org/downloads.html#MapGuideOpenSource110

mapguide-1.1.0.tar.gz
mapguideaptinstaller-1.1.0.tar.gz

Feature Data Objects 3.2.0
Download the needed http://fdo.osgeo.org/downloads.html. I grabbed all of them except for the ArcSDE for the examples.

Regards,
Chris
