This looks like a bit rot issue.

I haven't been following this thread -- what distro is being used here?

Apparently in switcher's setup script, it's falling back to look for RPMs in the distro/rh72 directory, but switcher doesn't have a distro/rh72 directory (hence the error).

Here's the code:

  2006   jsquyres if ($name eq "redhat") {
  2006   jsquyres   $source_dir .= "rh";
  2006   jsquyres   if ($ver eq "8.0") {
  2006   jsquyres     $source_dir .= "80";
  2032   jsquyres   } elsif ($ver eq "9") {
  2006   jsquyres     $source_dir .= "90";
  2649   bligneri   } elsif ($ver eq "3as") {
  2649   bligneri     $source_dir .= "3as";
  2649   bligneri   }
  2649   bligneri   else {
  2649   bligneri     $source_dir .= "72";
  2649   bligneri   }
...

I'm guessing that someone removed the rh72 directory and the code was not changed to match.

An obvious workaround is to change the "$source_dir .= "72"" line to be something that works on the distro that is being used here -- but I'm curious as to what supported distro falls through to this condition in the code...

David,
I decided to start over from scratch. I re downloaded the oscar4.0 tar
ball and unziped it in root's home directory. I then moved into the
oscar-4.0 and configured it with ./configure. Once this was done, I
installed it with make install. I then moved to /opt/oscar and ran
./install_cluster eth0. This runs through fine until it gets to the
setup for switcher. This is the error I am getting:


--> About to run /opt/oscar/packages/switcher/scripts/setup for switcher

This is the same error I received last time.  I have also attached the
install log so you can look at that as well.  Any tips would be great.

Thanks,
David

David,

Something's *really* wrong there.

This is the process to install
        d/l oscar-4.0.tar.gz
        cd /opt
        tar xfz oscar-4.0.tar.gz
        cd oscar-4.0
        ./configure
        make install
        cd /opt/oscar

Then, to start the OSCAR wizard,

        ./install_cluster ethX

where "ethX" is the cluster-private device, e.g., eth1

Is that what you did?  If so, could you verify the md5sums on the
tarball?
