Just an update on this, installing VPCScreen was easy, but python itself requires dependencies, which themselves require dependencies (sounds familiar?!)...
I'll hopefully be OK if I just get python installed - but what's wrong with my current version: [root@kuipers ag]# rpm -q python python-2.4.4-1.fc6 Why can I not just use this. Looking at a package distributor: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/python(abi) It seems that python 2.5 is only available for FC7 onwards. We are running FC5 and FC6 here. Surely FC7/8 isn't a requirement of AG3.1 ? Please help!

Someone said it would be looked into. I've just attempted to upgrade another VenueServer (running on another machine) from v3.01 to the latest Beta version, and receive the following errors: Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by package AccessGrid Error: Missing Dependency: VPCScreen is needed by package AccessGrid Why are these not called up from the repository and installed? The other problem I encountered during this installation was that the '--nogpgcheck' option was not understood during yum localinstall: Command line error: no such option: --nogpgcheck So I had to run the yum installation without with option. Any comments/suggestions will be most welcome, Regards, Ben. |=============================| | Ben Green | | Access Grid Support Centre | | Room G49-H | | Research Computing Services | | Kilburn Building | | University of Manchester | | Oxford Road | | Manchester | | M13 9PL | |-----------------------------| | Tel. 0161 306 6621 | | Fax. 0161 275 0637 | | ben.gr...@manchester.ac.uk | | http://www.agsc.ja.net | |=============================|
