Hi Christopher, I have succesfully installed fc9x86_64 on an 6 node intel quad core cluster. You can try using updatedb as root and then try locate PackageSmart.pm to locate the file where wizard_prep crashes saying it cannot find it. Note installing fc9 is hard and not for novices but not impossible. I have done it. For wizard_prep to find the file PackageSmart.pm you have to give it's path without the OSCAR etc suffix to the perl environment variable. So my apologies to Munkhzorig Gankhuyag there was an error in that reply that escaped me then. My reply was #export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:"/opt/oscar/lib" IT should have been #export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/opt/oscar/lib to see what i say try #echo $PATH and it will tell you the path of the executables in your .bash_profile directory. So try #echo $PERL5LIB and see what you get. IT it is empty then just type #export PERL5LIB=/opt/oscar/lib All these things can be hard coded but for now try this Also do it always in the shell you invoke ./install_cluster ... and if you start another shell or close the shell and reopen the shell and try ./install_cluster .... type #export PERL5LIB=/opt/oscar/lib note also no spaces in the export. Try this and see if your problem goes away. Email the results please Good luck! Allan Menezes Christopher C. Stevenson wrote:
