[Zoo-discuss] during compilation - fatal error: cgic.h: No such file or directory

Hi Karsten,
thanks again for your effort in trying to setup MapMint on your server.

We are glad to know that you finally succeed.

I answer your question inline below.

I did not remember doing this but if this is required then we should add it to the documentation.

I guess the error messages came when you tried to run the LibreOffice server not the X server on virtual frame buffer.
I did not install any Java environment on the Ubuntu server I used to test the setup. I cannot see any jre or idk setup on this server.
What is 100% sure is that I did not use other repository than the default ones.

Rather than login as postgres, you may also use the PGUSER environment variable.
So let say that I didn’t want to give too much details on how to setup and configure PostgreSQL as this is over the scope of the installation guide.

The savedpath table is only used when you use the routing module and want your users save their computed shortest paths.
So this should not block you from using the MapMint instance you’ve setup.

For the LibreOffice setup on Ubuntu, I use the following values in the [oo] section:

[oo]
path=/usr/bin/python3
ghostscript=/usr/bin/gs
external=true

Depending on the GNU/Linux distribution you use or the LibreOffice version you use, the setup can be made differently.
Generaly, LibreOffice should come with its own python setup located in the same directory as the soffice binary and with the module PaperMint require which is named Universal Network Object(UNO). Nevertheless, on some distro such as Ubuntu they use another python setup than the original one, on this platform it is the Python 3 available on the system. Note that the PaperMint API was initially created using the Python 2.7.X version then we migrate this version to be used with Python 3.3 then 3.4 and change drastically the way the services for printing and the PaperMint module are used. Nevertheless, the fact is that nowadays, PaperMint is not working anymore with Python-2.7 so you should avoid (when you have choice like on Gentoo distribution) to setup the UNO python module for Python 2.7 but always prefer the 3 version. Nevertheless, on Ubuntu you should be safe using the values given previously.


I hope this helps and you can give us feedbacks about your usage and potential issue you may face.

best regards,
