Installation of Virtuoso

Install virtuoso by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --localstatedir=/var \
            --without-internal-zlib \
            --program-transform-name="s/isql/isql-v/" &&
make

Virtuoso does not come with a callable test suite. An intensive check routine is part of the build process.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--without-internal-zlib: This option is set to use the installed zlib and not the bundled one.

--program-transform-name: Both, Virtuoso as well as unixODBC installs a program named isql. Use this option to rename virtuosos program to isql-v

--enable-pythonAdd this option if Python is installed. It enables the use of Python by Virtuoso.

--with-jdk4: Add this option to specify the path to the JDK-6 Update 18 and to enable making use of Java.

--with-port: Add this is you want that virtuoso is listening on another port than 1111.
