This package is required for Red Hat operation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2007-05-26 11:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 Originator: NO perl-XML-Simple RPM is now readily available in most Linux distributions. For RHEL, you can either download them from here: http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/oscar/trunk/share/prereqs/perl-XML-Simple/distro/ Or get it from the Dag / Rpmforge repositories. The SystemImager RPM requires the perl-XML-Simple dependency in RPM format, so even though you installed perl-XML-Simple by compiling from sources, the RPM will not be able to know that. You have two options: 1) Install perl-XML-Simple RPMs from the above mentioned locations (you may probably want to uninstall the source version too) 2) Or simply force the installation of the SystemImager RPM installation since you have already installed the prereq by using rpm's --nodeps / --force options ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2007-05-25 14:14 Message: Logged In: NO lol...here is the OS version too :] RHEL4 Kernel 2.6.9-5.ELsmp ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2007-05-25 14:13 Message: Logged In: NO Oh, here are the packages I was using. SI 3.8.1-1 and XML-Simple 2.16 -rwx------ 1 root root 347498 May 24 16:03 systemimager-server-3.8.1-1.noarch.rpm -rwx------ 1 root root 69084 May 24 16:04 XML-Simple-2.16.tar.gz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2007-05-25 14:11 Message: Logged In: NO I downloaded XML::Simple from CPAN website (link provided from systemimager.org) and extracted, ran 'perl Makefile.PL, then make, make test, make install. I even tested it with a simple perl script using 'require XML::Simple'. The test script showed no errors (so XML::Simple was installed). When installing the server RPM, I get the following messages: # rpm -ivh systemimager-server-3.8.1-1.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl(XML::Simple) >= 2.14 is needed by systemimager-server-3.8.1-1.noarch # find /usr -name Simple.pm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/XML/Simple.pm Installing the RPM with the --nodeps option worked. Running the software (si_getimage) shows no signs of a problem with XML::Simple. Annoying but not a show stopper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100259&aid=758401&group_id=259 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
