Jabberd2 deployment notes

Jabberd2 can definitely be annoying to install with all of its pre-requiste requirements and not having a debian package for the latest jabberd2 (2.1.17 at this time) isn’t really adding much fun to it.
On a Debian Etch system (and possibly Ubuntu) it is required to have the following packages installed as a requirement to build jabberd2:
OpenSSL support:
- libssl-dev (>= 0.9.6b)
- libssl0.9.8
openssl
apt-get install libssl-dev libssl0.9.8 openssl
Libidn support:
- libidn11
libidn11-dev
apt-get install libidn11 libidn11-dev
Expat:
- libexpat1
libexpat1-dev
apt-get install libexpat1 libexpat1-dev
If you’re planning to work with MySQL or other database then you’d also need the header and development files, or in short:
apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 libmysqlclient15-dev libmysqlclient15off
