NOTES

Even though the Plone installation failed, it still created the site directory, buildout.cfg, and a curious file called lxml_static.cfg

I couldn't find much about lxml_static.cfg, but I came across this link. Since the installation failed and this seems like a completely different question, I'm not sure if it's directly related.

Any hints?

This class of problem is probably better handled by submitting a ticket to dev.plone.org.

You have libxml2 on your system, but libxslt probably doesn't fit; this applies to all but the most recent releases.

The install.log report is unfortunately not very helpful. Relevant line:



gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)

but this does not indicate why he was killed. However, this tells us that gcc was killed by an external process and not by some sort of compilation error. Your system logs may tell you something more (for example, killing process XXX due to YYY).

Is it possible that your user limits are set so conservatively that they won't allow memory / CPU intensive builds? If so, contact your system administrator.

We use the following for Ubuntu as FYI before deploying Plone from the unified installer:



apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev p7zip-full rar lha unrar unzip unace unp bzip2 gzip patch

Looks like I hit a potential bug (thanks @SteveM) while trying to install Plone 4.1.4 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LT (Lucid). If you have a similar problem, you can track down the potential bug here: dev.plone.org/ticket/12795

Working around the solution: install without lxml!

./install.sh standalone --target="${HOME}/plone" --instance=${WEBSITE_NAME} --without-lxml

Thanks for the game
