---++ Install on Centos 5:(Submitted by Ibrahim Lopez Rivera)

<br />You need to add repositories for the libesmtp packages if needed. You can follow the tutorial to add the RPMForge and other repositories for YUM:<br /><br /> http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge?action=show&redirect=Repositories%2FRPMForge<br /><br />Install the packages:
<pre>
# yum install gcc gnutls-devel mysql mysql-devel mysql-client pcre pcre-devel libesmtp libesmtp-devel
</pre>

<i> [Note: The gnutls-devel are needed to compile libprelude if you want support for it during Sagan's install, if not you don't need them.]</i>

In order not to confront a problem when building Sagan about mysqlclientl_r (Centos devel packages do not contain the headers necessary) You will need to download from MySQL site a mysql-shared-compat close to your database install version: http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.0/ or http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.1/
<pre>
# yum info mysql     #  This will show your installed version
</pre>
Example for MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.91-1.rhel5.i386.rpm :
<pre>
# cd /tmp
# wget http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.0/MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.91-1.rhel5.i386.rpm
# yum localinstall MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.91-1.rhel5.i386.rpm
</pre>
Now you can proceed to install libprelude if needed.<br /><br />The libprelude from Atomic Corp repository libprelude-0.9.21.2-1.el5.art.i386.rpm will not satisfied Sagan's configuration buildup. You will need to download and build libprelude 1.0.0 from their site:
<pre>
# cd /tmp
# wget http://www.prelude-technologies.com/download/releases/libprelude/libprelude-1.0.0.tar.gz
# tar xvfz libprelude-1.0.0.tar.gz
# cd /libprelude-1.0.0
# ./configure & make && make install
</pre>
Now install Sagan as per documentation. [ SaganHOWTO ] <br /><br /><i>[Note: Remember to use: ./configure --disable-postgresql to install Sagan if you don't need support for PostgreSQL or you will need to install it.]</i>
