ubuntu16.04 上安装 ICE

第一部分 Zeroc 官方文档

在ubuntu上安装ICE的官方文档：

https://doc.zeroc.com/display/Ice36/Using+the+Linux+Binary+Distributions#UsingtheLinuxBinaryDistributions-InstallingIceonUbuntu

1. 安装 Zeroc key

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 5E6DA83306132997

2. 添加 repository

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://zeroc.com/download/apt/ubuntu`lsb_release -rs` stable main"

3. 更新 package 列表，然后 安装

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install zeroc-ice-all-runtime zeroc-ice-all-dev

另外， 由于 ICE 执行热备份之类的管理任务需要用到 Berkeley DB ，故还需要安装 db5.3-util

sudo apt-get install db5.3-util

第二部分 为什么我就是安装不了ICE

这部分说一下我在安装时遇到的问题。

icebergwu@ubuntu16:~$ sudo apt-get install zeroc-ice-all-runtime
zeroc-ice-all-dev [sudo] password for icebergwu: Reading package
lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state
information… Done Some packages could not be installed. This may
mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are

百度了很长时间也没找到原因，后来从下往上依次执行 sudo apt-get install xxx.后来才怀疑是找不到包。

icebergwu@ubuntu16:~$ sudo apt-get install zeroc-ice-utils Reading
package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state

icebergwu@ubuntu16:~$

最后想到要验证 repository 是不是弄错了。于是打开下面的链接，发现无论是在虚拟机ubuntu，还是在宿主windows上，总是报 NoSuchKey。

http://zeroc.com/download/apt/ubuntu16.04
https://zeroc.com/download/apt/ubuntu16.04

然后在公司的linux server上再连这个网址，它居然就可以打开。我觉得应该是公司的防火墙对windows主机做了一些过滤导致不能正常列出Zeroc的文件。

后来在家里试了试，也是报 NoSuchKey。
安装不了怎么办？最后只能研究如何用源码安装ICE。

具体的会在下一篇文章里介绍。
