DuChene (sad) Summary: ganglia install via opd fails Initial Comment: In trying to install oscar 2.3b6 on a fresh-off-the-CD Redhat 9 installation, I cannot get ganglia to install. In fact, trying to get ganglia install completely stops the oscar install itself. I select ganglia in step 0 to b e ganglia 2.1.1-1 (using the wizard), and check ganglia in step1. During step 3 I get the error... Can't exec "/root/oscar-2.3b6/packages/ganglia/scripts/gmond_add_internal.sh": No such file or directory at /var/lib/oscar/packages/ganglia/scripts/post_server_install line 30. gmond_internal.sh failed at /var/lib/oscar/packages/ganglia/scripts/post_server_install line 30 Failed running post_server_install for ganglia at ./install_server line 71 --> Step 3: Failed to properly install OSCAR server; please check the logs and there is no packages/ganglia directory at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2003-08-18 08:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 The scripts that are being run were downloaded as part of the ganglia package. There have been numerous problems with ganglia in the past, and has lapsed into a largely unsupported state by its maintainer(s). OPD merely downloads and unpacks a tarball, OSCAR merely runs scripts included in the package. This portion has worked, the failure is within ganglia's scripts. One big problem is that ganglia's scripts think that it will always be in $OSCAR_HOME/packages/ganglia, when in fact it is in /var/lib/oscar/packages/ganglia... thus the file not found errors. OPD allows people who create OSCAR packages to make them available to anyone who installs OSCAR. We cannot ensure that every package available via OPD will work, because we do not create or maintain these packages (nor do we have the resources to test all the packages with each version of OSCAR and fix any problems that may occur). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Erik Iverson (eiverson) Date: 2003-08-18 07:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=845503 I'd have to disagree with that - the installation was done through OPD, and the error occurred in a oscar install script looking for an oscar specific file. If we're going to say we have a "downloader which installs third-party packages," then we don't have a real strong case for claiming it's the fault of the third-party software. To restate, the problem isn't in the ganglia install, it's in the OPD attempt to install ganglia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2003-08-15 16:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 Ganglia is an unsupported, third-party package. You should contact the ganglia developers and/or the package maintainer for support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109368&aid=789491&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
