[dss-developer] new gsoap package for Ubuntu 9.10 (fixes segmentation fault when using current git version)

[Johannes Winkelmann]

Hi there,

A while ago, we changed the JSON and SOAP interfaces to use SSL for 
communication exclusively. Unfortunately, there exists a bug in older 
versions of gsoap which causes the dss to crash early in the startup 
phase during the initialization of the SSL setup. This problem was 
addressed in gsoap 2.7.10.

Current versions of Ubuntu and Debian (and its derivatives) ship with a 
pre 2.7.10 version (2.7.9l on Ubuntu 9.10) and will thus show the 
problematic behaviour outlined above.

To amend this, I've built an updated package for gsoap, based on the 
work of Stefano Canepa [1]. You can download it from
   http://developer.digitalstrom.org/files/contrib/gsoap_2.7.15-1_i386.deb

Long story short, if you're using Ubuntu and building the dss from the 
git repository, we recommend you to install this package.

Regards, Johannes
