I discovered the problem.
In the oscar script "set_global_oscar_values" line 60:
my $uname_data = (uname)[4];
ouch! on my machine running Fedora Core uname returns just:
Linux
I modified the script such that:
my $uname_data = (`uname -i`);
chomp $uname_data; # Pesky newline would prevent equality test
That fixed the problem.

Hi,
When I try to install OSCAR-4.0 on the head machine I get a failure:

The machine has a new/clean Fedora Core 2 workstations install with
plenty of disk space. OSCAR-4.0 downloaded and unpacked OK. The
OSCAR Configure and make install completed with no failures. The
Ethernet adapters are set up and working. I can ssh to the server
machine, hostname "Moe", and ping sourceforge.net. No problem. I
rsynced the rpms from the four Fedora Core 2 iso disks I made for
the workstation install. I cd to /opt/oscar and ./install_cluster
eth1. The scripts progress fine until the above DepMan error.
Any ideas about how I can fix this and complete the installation?

Hello Lynn,
I have one idea :-)
Are you sure you have copied all the RPMs from the Fedora cds to
/tftpboot/rpm?
The system complains that it can't find some packages (MySQL, by
instance).
I would check this and then try again.
Regards,
OK, I've double checked and all the rpms on the Fedora Core 2 CDs have
been copied to the head computer's /tftpboot/rpm. The md5 signatures
of my Fedora disks are correct. Whatever packages Fedora Core 2
provides on the computer.
Is there a list of the rpms oscar-4.0 needs?
The oscarinstall.log says "MySQL providing RPM not found." I assume
that means the install can't find the rpm which provides mysql. Yet a
'rpm -q --whatprovides mysql' clearly says mysql-3.23.58-9 provides
mysql and it is installed. The log also says "MySQL-client providing
RPM not found." Indeed, rpm -q confirms no package provides
mysql-client. Then again, rpm -q --whatrequires mysql-client says no
package requires mysql-client.
Is there a set of rpms Oscar provides?

Hello,
OK then. I have never worked with Fedora but I do known that for RHEL 3
for i386 and ia64 we have to download a copy of MySQL-server and put it
also in /tftpboot/rpm: after the installation, rpm -qa | grep MySQL
return MySQL, MySQL-common and MySQL-server. In the last few weeks we
have worked hard in the install documentation for every distro supported
so, if you have not tried yet, you should take a look on it.
I even that doesn't solve your problem keep posting it in the list and
I'm sure someone would be able to help you after the holidays.
Regards,
