====
I follow the installtion guide to install iredmail-0.8.3 in centos 6.3.

But when i type "bash iRedMail.sh" or "bash get_all.sh", it will output "TypeError: Parsing primary.xml error: Start tag expected, '<' not found" as a result. Ican not figure out what cause it.

Someone said "It seems that yum somehow tries to parse the gzipped primary.xml.gz instead offirst uncompressing and then parsing it".

And someone said "this is caused by libxml2 being compiled without zlib support".

can anyone give me a assistant? Thanks a lot.

Does it work if you simply update packages with yum? e.g. "yum update"?
