2. Requirements

The Inca server components have the following requirements:

• Sun JDK or JRE 1.4.2_09 or greater. When run with Java 1.4, the memory usage of Inca components sometimes grows significantly over time. This appears to be a problem in the Java run-time that is fixed in Sun Java 1.5 and 1.6, so use those versions if possible.

• Perl 5.8.6 or greater

• OpenSSL-0.9.6[jkl] or OpenSSL-0.9.7b or greater

• GNU tar (i.e., no limit on filename length)

Inca clients (reporter managers) running on *nix resources should have:

• Perl 5.8.x or greater

• OpenSSL-0.9.6[jkl] or OpenSSL-0.9.7b or greater

• GNU tar (i.e., no limit on filename length)

• make or gmake

• a C compiler

Inca clients (reporter managers) running on Windows resources should have cygwin installed with the following modules (tested on XP):

• ssh server

• perl

• make

• gcc

• openssl & openssl-dev

• vim (not required for reporter manager but generally useful)
