Building an OpenVPN binary RPM package requires these RPM prerequisites:

• openssl
• openssl-devel
• lzo
• lzo-devel

Thanks Aaron

Ubuntu use deb not rpm packages.You can try to compile it from source.Or you can try to install ebox.I think second one is better option.

I'm not really sure how to do that is there a step by step guide?

in new to linux

im trying to make this system a VPN server type computer

i got this info off of the VPN website:

How can I build a binary RPM package for my specific Linux platform?

Building an OpenVPN binary RPM package requires these RPM prerequisites:

• openssl
• openssl-devel
• lzo
• lzo-devel

The openssl package is almost always installed by default on Linux distributions. The openssl-devel package is almost always available on Linux distributions, but is sometimes not installed by default. The lzo and lzo-devel packages are usually included in more recent Linux distributions but must be installed manually. See the Dag Wieers site for a comprehensive set of LZO RPMs for Red Hat and Fedora.
Once the prerequisite binary RPMs are in place, building an OpenVPN binary RPM is quite straightforward:

rpmbuild -tb [OpenVPN .tar.gz file]

You will see a lot of lines of output as rpmbuild compiles OpenVPN, but check near the end of the output for a line which looks like this:

Wrote: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/openvpn-2.0_rc18-1.i586.rpm

This tells you where rpmbuild wrote the binary RPM file. Now, use:

rpm -ivh [OpenVPN .rpm file]

to do a fresh install of OpenVPN, or

rpm -Uvh [OpenVPN .rpm file]

to upgrade an existing installation.



Is this correct or is it all wrong?
