[Plone-docs] Suggestion for manual/installing-plone - bzip2 support in debian

[Marcio Mazza]

This is about the tutorial
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/installing-plone

Please check if the section
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/installing-plone/installing-on-linux-unix-bsd/debian-libraries

should also advise about the need of
*sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev
*
in order to have bzip2 support.


*What happened to me:
*I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.
I had trouble while trying to easy_install a bz2 package (mocker==1.0, for
dexterity) without having *libbz2-dev*
Got an error like in this post:
http://plone.293351.n2.nabble.com/Workaround-Solution-for-resolving-Mocker-installation-issues-w-Dexterity-td5118861.html
* error: Not a recognized archive type:
/usr/local/Plone4/buildout-cache/downloads/dist/mocker-1.0.tar.bz2
*
That was solved when I installed libbz2-dev first and then ran the unified
installer again.

In fact, I wonder if the *Installer itself shoudn't solve this*, since it
tries to add zlib, if I correctly understood. Shouldn't it fill in the gap
for bzip2?


Thanks for the good docs.

I trust your judgement here and updated the documentation according to
instructions.
