Here is my cURL info:

cURL support: enabled
cURL Information: libcurl/7.19.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8h zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.10

Any ideas?

Looks like I solved my own problem.

Just used zypper to install cURL - I guess I did it wrong the first time around.

sudo zypper in curl

Hi VanD14,

Can you describe your deployment and whether all is working well for you?
Can you also share how you plan on using Kaltura (purpose)?

Thanks,

Zohar

In reply to how I plan on using Kaltura.

I am part of a web development team at a large University in Canada. We plan on using Kaltura as our main media hub - connecting our Moodle and Drupal sites together.

Thanks for the reply, but all is not working for me at the moment. I am have a lot of issues with the Pentaho installation on my openSUSE 32-bit server.

Interesting information here - Pentaho PDI 3.2.0 README_LINUX.txt

If you want support for the built-in browser in Linux, please install Mozilla XULRunner.

A lot of distributions ship with this software these days, so we used this as the default configuration option.

If you want you can change the location in spoon.sh with the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable.
x86_64 notes:
This build requires a 64 bit JVM. It will not run with a 32 bit JVM.

You can for example download Sun 64 bit 1.5 JVM for AMD64. Note that

Sun 1.4.2 JVM for AMD64 is 32 bit and cannot be used to run this build.

This appears to be a fault because I need to enable X11 on client and server when I SSH into my server.
I have not tried this yet, just a theory. Anyone else with similar experiences?

Hi VanD14,

Thanks for the information on how you plan to use Kaltrua. You should also check out the rest of the EDU solutions on http://corp.kaltura.com/solutions/education_technology_video.

We haven't performed tests on Suse... Will it be possible for you to run on either ubuntu or centos?

I thought I would give it a shot on Suse anyways. Ran into some problems, I'm sure there is a way to get it working, just haven't found it yet. I am not able to use any other OS in this environment.

:) I like OpenSuSe as well. We can't set enough resources for it though, other distros have a lot more users...

Keep us updated on how you progress and we'll try to help out any way possible, if changes are required to code or components, please specify and submit patches on the issue tracker.

What is the status currently? beyond issues with Pentaho, are you able to run everything else?

I never thought the day would come, and this may be to early to call this a success, but I have everything working now.

EDIT: The links are turning into HTML within the code block, so I took them out.
