Hi Erich.

I wanted to report on my progress on this problem of installing the
OSCAR snapshot on my SL 4.2 i386 machine.

I started over and added the dries, dag and atrpms repositories to my
yum. After that, this problem went away :
The key issue is:
Executing: rpm -q perl-XML-Simple >/dev/null 2>&1
WARNING: Package perl-XML-Simple was not installed!
Executing: rpm -q mysql >/dev/null 2>&1
Executing: rpm -q perl-DBD-MySQL >/dev/null 2>&1
Executing: rpm -q perl-DBI >/dev/null 2>&1
Executing: rpm -q mysql-server >/dev/null 2>&1
Executing: rpm -q perl-HTML-Tree >/dev/null 2>&1
WARNING: Package perl-HTML-Tree was not installed!
Executing: rpm -q perl-Tk >/dev/null 2>&1
WARNING: Package perl-Tk was not installed!
Executing: rpm -q perl-Qt >/dev/null 2>&1
WARNING: Package perl-Qt was not installed!
except that perl-Qt was not found and I had to install that by hand
from the /tftpboot/distro directory.


After that, the installation seemed to go well until a dependancy
problem cropped up due to a proper version of oscar-modules not being
found... I installed that by hand too from /tftpboot/distro.

Running install_cluster once more, the script died just before oscar_wizard :

I have a suspicion that there is a problem somewhere that incorrect
architectures are specified, either in my yum repositories or in the
way i've untarred the oscar tarballs... I'm totally guessing though,
from these warning messages :
WARNING: repository name /tftpboot/oscar/common-rpms doesn't match any
valid architecture
WARNING: repository name
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/atrpms/sl4-i386/stable

valid architecture
WARNING: repository name

Does this help to solve the problem at all ?

Thanks
Bruce
