Greetings Still trying to get oscar 5.1rc1 (as downloaded straight from sourceforge) installed on a fresh, non-updated Fedora 9 install on an Intel Q6600 box. (For reference, done with the "[x] Software Development" model only selected.)
Much thanks to Allan Menezes for reminding that PERL5LIB is used to show perl where custom modules might be lurking (if outside the default @INC). The install scripts seem to need this sort of hand-holding. After many install attempts over the past couple of weeks between other things, learning a bit each time, I paved the system, reinstalled Fedora 9 from DVD, disabled SELinux (/etc/selinux/config), turned off gpgkey checking (set to 0 in /etc/yum.conf), slightly modified /etc/hosts according to the pre-install guidelines at the online Install Guide (hostname<->IP gets its own line, and 127.0.0.1 is localhost's only), etc. etc, closely following the Install Guide. The tarballs oscar-repo-common-rpms-5.1rc1.tar.gz and oscar-repo-fc-9-x86_64-5.1rc1.tar.gz unpacked into /tftpboot/oscar, yume installed, oscar-base installed with yume, etc, according to The Guide. Before invoking "cd /opt/oscar; ./install_cluster eth0" PERL5LIB had to be set as follows to find the PackageSmart and PackMan perl modules: "export PERL5LIB=/opt/oscar/lib:/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/" (I also exported OSCAR_VERBOSE=10 to see what was happening) It was still crucial to add a "|9" to the fedora choices (5-8) in /opt/oscar/packages/yume/prereq.cfg before the script could get past the initial stages - and this is in source distributed as "oscar-repo-fc-9-x86_64-5.1rc1? It also seemed crucially important to manually-install (yum) several perl modules that install_cluster just assumed were present in the very early stages (perl-AppConfig, perl-IO-Tty, later perl-Tk). Finally, it was crucially-important to specify a URL pointing to a Fedora mirror's "Everything" tree, since install media lack some of the rpms (/tftpboot/distro/fedora-9-x86_64.url contained: http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/x86_64/os/) Got past all of this, no errors reported in the copious output, and finally the oscar_wizard GUI came up, with "Step 0" (prep) already completed. All looked good. Clicking on "Step 1 - Select OSCAR Packages to install", the parent shell would simply immediate spit back: "/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl//auto/Qt/Qt.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr" and nothing happened. Surprised. A quick "strings" on Qt.so confirms that this symbol does indeed exist. This is the only Qt.so on this system. Since there is no "perl-Qt" in the Fedora source (online or DVD rpms), this is OSCAR's. Just to be sure I removed it (yum remove perl-Qt) and put it back (yume --repo /tftpboot/oscar/fc-9-x86_64/ install perl-Qt) with no change. This is becoming tedious - any help would be hugely appreciated. I'd rather continue this process without hardwired kludges to get around these sorts of things. This cluster needs to be operational by the end of the week. Thanks in advance, Chris (ps. Allan, any luck with 5.1 on Fedora 10 beta?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Oscar-users mailing list Oscar-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-users
