Zimbra is Not Compatible with Ubuntu Server 9.04

From the Trenches...
- After running Zimbra's install.sh we make it to the bleeding edge and get the message:
"WARNING: ZCS is currently only supported on Ubuntu Server 6.06 and 8.04 LTS. You are attempting to install on Ubuntu 9.04 which may not work. Support will not be provided if you choose to continue."
(I wonder if they have baseball hats and 'T'-shirts for us braves?)
Tried Fixups
- Missing Prerequisite libgmp3
1. Try: apt-get install libgmp3 DID NOT WORK! says we have libgmp3c2
2. sudo nano util/utilfunc.sh
-> Search for "libgmp3"
4. In the UBUNTU|DEBIAN section find:
-> PREREQ_PACKAGES="sudo libidn11 libgmp3 libstdc++6"
5. Replace "libgmp3" with libgmp3c2
Bloody Reminder
The install fails again. So we don't forget, we get a reminder that we are in bleeding edge territory.
"This platform is UBUNTUUNKNOWN Packages found: UBUNTU8 This may or may not work."
This time, it tells us to try:
sudo ./install.sh --platform-override
They lose points for not telling me this earlier!
They Told Me So...
It might be time to consider down grading to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. The intall fails again with the following error:
"/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/IO/IO.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr"
