I am going to install Pound 2.2 on Redhat Linux Enterprise 4 .


I read on the site :

" The  PCRE package and the tcmalloc (or Hoard) library are strongly 
recommended "

Can anyone please direct me to any guide or explain how to compile pound 
with  these libraries ?

Thanks

Just make sure the packages are installed on your system - the configure
script will create the right Makefile for you.

Robert, I think he's asking where we these packages can be downloaded 
from.  I'm curios as well :)

On quite a few distributions they are just standard packages - RPM, deb,
tgz or what have you. I suspect PCRE is more common than tcmalloc (aka
Google performance tools), but both are readily available.

Should worse come to worst you can always compile and install them
yourself - it's certainly worth the trouble: you'll see serious
performance improvements, probably on the order of 50-100%.

I've compiled pound on RHEL 4 using the source rpm provided by Simon
(http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/pound/).

A rpm for google-perftools-devel is available at:
http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/

pcre-devel is available using up2date (that is, it is a Red Hat
supported package).

HTH, 

Rob

I've just released an updated pound rpm which now defaults to use
google-perftools. My google-perftools which builds on every RedHat/Fedora
distribution starting from RedHat 7.2 to FC-6 can be found here:
http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/google-perftools/

Simon
