I just think that I can't expect the Fedora RPMs to smoothly install under RHEL. This seems to be due to the package differences between the two release streams (Fedora/RHEL). For instance, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/2.1.0 > rpm --test -ivh heartbeat-pils-2.1.0-40.1.x86_64.rpm warning: heartbeat-pils-2.1.0-40.1.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b9d6523 error: Failed dependencies: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by heartbeat-pils-2.1.0-40.1.x86_64 rtld doesn't seem available for this RHEL release. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/AS4u5-x86_64/RedHat/RPMS > rpm --test -ivh ~/fed5/heartbeat-stonith-2.1.0.40.1.x86_64.rpm warning: /home/dsoble/fed5/heartbeat-stonith-2.1.0-40.1.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: Ny ID 6b9d6523 error: Failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.6()(64bit) is needed by heartbeat-stonith-2.1.0-40.1.x86_64 libnetsnmp.so.10()(64bit) is needed by heartbeat-stonith-2.1.0-40.1.x86_64 These lib versions, libcrypto.so.6 and libnetsnmp.so.10 are newer than what exists on RHEL4, and I can't find appropriate packages that would provide these newer libraries. (interesting link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Relationship_to_free_or_community_versions ) Will there be any plans to possibly release RPMs for RHEL in the future??? > > Instead, I had more success using the Centos packages here (v 2.0.8): > > http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/x86_64/RPMS/ > > > > The rpm install order went like this: > > heartbeat-pils > > libidn > > curl > > heartbeat-stonith > > lm_sensors > > heartbeat > > > > This leaves me with a 2.0.8 installation, which might be okay, however, I'm > under > > the impression that using the later 2.1.0 version would be more stable(?) > > To > other > > HB users feel that 2.1.0 is more stable??? > > don't use 2.0.8 if you have any choice in the matter > please read the various emails on the subject > Understood. I downloaded the latest stable source as you suggested, called: Heartbeat-Dev-70067cb78a6e.tar.bz2 and after installing all the required build packages, I finally got "ConfigureMe configure" to work, but I'm still running into some problems during "make". Will continue to work on resolving those issues... Also, it would be nice to have the GUI as an optional installation component, but that's just my opinion. In our environment, we almost always use servers without X11 or graphics at all - just plain old simply, nice, fast, clean command-line ;-) <short rant re: GUI> I understand the (need) desire for graphics on workstations or PCs, but generally, I think it's just unnecessary overhead on server machines, or server admin tools (ie. harder [or impossible] to script actions, usually has fewer features than the command-line, (unless the GUI was developed first), more tricky for remote management (ie. can't just use simple ssh), more painful over slow links, etc, etc..) </rant over> > > Also, is the source for 2.1.0 available?
