`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
