Error installing Go community edition – ThoughtWorks Support

I'm attempting to install the Go community edition on RHEL 5 using the rpm downloaded from TW download page.

I receive the following error:

D: Requires: jdk >= 1.6.0 NO
D: package go-server-2.1.0-11943.noarch has unsatisfied Requires: jdk >= 1.6.0

I have installed jdk 1.6.0 and it's defined in my path:

[custadm@ph274302]~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

However jdk is installed in a non standard location (long story but essentially we're leasing a server and the owner has only given us permission to install software in a specific location).

So I suspect this installation is looking for jdk in a specific location, but can't find it there. I've tried creating symbolic links from the 2 areas I think it might be looking (/usr/java or /usr/local/jdk) but no luck on the installation.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks from a frustrated newbie.

Steve

Hi Steve,

You can try using --nodeps options while installing.
```
rpm -ivh <go-server-package> --nodeps
```
This option will ignore the dependency checks, but since java is in the path, Go server should start up just fine.

Regards,
Rajesh
