Open Microscopy Environment

Hi everybody,

Machine specs

Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit

I have been trying to install omero.server on this machine for quite sometime now. Here are the things I have tried.

When the install first went through i started getting the error about ice being a higher version than required. Found this thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=522 but building Ice 3.3.* on ubuntu turned out to be a futile effort since there are more dependencies there.

Did some more searching and got zeroc-ice33 installed and got Ice 3.3 from debian. But, somehow IcePy still stays in version 3.4.1 while icegridnode and others have come down to 3.3.1

Now, my question is, will checking out the git repo and reinstalling ice 3.4 as the only version get things working? Or is the git repo also at the stage of having ice 3.3.* as the base requirement?

Thank you for your time. Hopefully I can get this running sometime soon.

Hi Adrian,

That would definitely cause problems. Did you try uninstalling all the different ice 3.4 packages? Did you also install a 3.4 version manually, e.g. under /opt? Did you manually change your PYTHONPATH environment variable?

If you uninstall Ice 3.3, and start working from the openmicroscopy git repository, then yes, Ice 3.4 should work just fine, but the OME version (4.4) is still under heavy development and testing. If you are just testing yourself and don't plan to deploy to production until later in the summer, then that should be fine.
