Install Camfrog Server on Ubuntu Linux 8.10

Camfrog doesn't offer a Ubuntu version of their product, so here's a guide in getting it to work for Ubuntu 8.10.

1. Download the RPM here: http://download.camfrog.com/serverlinux.phtml


2. Install alien: sudo apt-get install alien


3. Install libstdc++.so.6: apt-get install lib32stdc++6


4. Change directory to the file you downloaded from CamFrog and type: alien camfrog_x.xx.rpm


5. Now install the .deb package: dpkg -i camfrogserver_4.2-2_all.deb


6. Now just configure according to the instructions in the manual: man camfrogserver.conf


7. You may want to delete /etc/rc.d/init.d/camfrogserver since it won't work under Ubuntu.
