Hi, I found that setting up oscar on Fedora 8 is not as easy as on all the other linux distros that we support. (test r6708 on Fedora 8-X86)
Most importantly, yum can not really handle the dependency of some packages on Fedora 8. Especially there is a Fedora 8 ganglia (3.0.5) competing with ganglia-3.0.6 ported on branch-5-1. There are some problems on resolving the dependencies on two different versions of ganglia. Because of that, oscar could not finish the installation of ganglia. I think there are more but the obvious conflicts are from the ganglia one now. Here is what I found on oscarinstall.log. ------------------------------------------------ Dependencies Resolved 1199162148.52 ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: opkg-disable-services-server noarch 1.1.0-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 1.7 k opkg-ganglia-server noarch 3.0.5-2 oscar_fc-8-i386 3.2 k opkg-lam-server noarch 7.1.4-7 oscar_fc-8-i386 3.7 k opkg-maui-server noarch 3.2.6p19-8 oscar_fc-8-i386 2.2 k opkg-mtaconfig-server noarch 1.1.0-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 4.7 k opkg-netbootmgr-server noarch 1.7-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 3.0 k opkg-ntpconfig-server noarch 2.0.1-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 3.9 k opkg-openmpi-server noarch 1.2.4-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 2.1 k opkg-opium-server noarch 1.6-2 oscar_fc-8-i386 2.1 k opkg-pvm-server noarch 3.4.5+6-3 oscar_fc-8-i386 2.2 k opkg-torque-server noarch 2.1.8-2 oscar_fc-8-i386 4.2 k Installing for dependencies: ganglia-gmetad i686 3.0.6-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 84 k ganglia-gmetad i386 3.0.5-1.fc8 i386_os 85 k ganglia-gmond i686 3.0.6-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 214 k ganglia-web i386 3.0.5-1.fc8 i386_os 118 k lam-oscar i686 7.1.4-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 3.6 M lam-oscar-modulefile noarch 7.1.4-1 oscar_common-rpms 8.7 k lam-switcher-modulefile noarch 7.1.4-2.oscar oscar_common-rpms 7.6 k libaio i386 0.3.106-3.2 i386_os 19 k libaio-devel i386 0.3.106-3.2 i386_os 11 k maui-oscar i686 3.2.6p19-8 oscar_fc-8-i386 1.7 M netbootmgr noarch 1.7-1 oscar_common-rpms 60 k openmpi i686 1.2.4-1 oscar_fc-8-i386 5.2 M openmpi-switcher-modulefile noarch 1.2.4-1 oscar_common-rpms 7.0 k php-gd i386 5.2.4-3 distro_fedora-8-i386 111 k pvm i686 3.4.5+6-2 oscar_fc-8-i386 2.6 M pvm-modules-oscar i686 3.4.5+6-2 oscar_fc-8-i386 6.8 k rrdtool i386 1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8 i386_os 390 k ssh-oscar noarch 1.1-6 oscar_common-rpms 3.6 k tcsh i386 6.15-1.fc8 i386_os 468 k tk i386 1:8.4.15-5.fc8 distro_fedora-8-i386 1.2 M torque i686 2.1.8-3oscar oscar_fc-8-i386 21 k torque-client i686 2.1.8-3oscar oscar_fc-8-i386 174 k torque-gui i686 2.1.8-3oscar oscar_fc-8-i386 240 k torque-modulefile noarch 2.1.8-3oscar oscar_common-rpms 2.5 k torque-mom i686 2.1.8-3oscar oscar_fc-8-i386 105 k torque-server i686 2.1.8-3oscar oscar_fc-8-i386 106 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 37 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 17 M Downloading Packages: (2/37): tcsh-6.15-1.fc8.i 100% |=========================| 468 kB 00:00 (4/37): libaio-devel-0.3. 100% |=========================| 11 kB 00:00 (10/37): ganglia-gmetad-3 100% |=========================| 85 kB 00:00 (19/37): rrdtool-1.3-0.1. 100% |=========================| 390 kB 00:00 (23/37): ganglia-web-3.0. 100% |=========================| 118 kB 00:00 (28/37): libaio-0.3.106-3 100% |=========================| 19 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: Package ganglia-web needs ganglia-gmetad = 3.0.5-1.fc8, this is not available. Complete! ------------------------------------------------ As you can see, even though some packages (or most packages) could not be installed because of the dependencies, the process of the Step 3 "Install OSCAR Server" passed. That made me believe that all the OSCAR server packages are fully installed/configured. But apparently not. FYI, I used the following .url file.
