[Sisuite-users] Help with installing SystemImager?

[Aaron Woo]

Hi,

This is my first attempt at setting up a Linux cluster.  I followed the instructions for the RPM based distributions and it's stalling while trying to install the perl-AppConfig rpm.  This message is:

--10:24:51--  http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/systemconfig/perl-AppConfig-1.52-3.noarch.rpm
           => `perl-AppConfig-1.52-3.noarch.rpm'
Resolving unc.dl.sourceforge.net... done.
Connecting to unc.dl.sourceforge.net[152.2.210.121]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

Continued download failed on this file, which conflicts with `-c'.
Refusing to truncate existing file `perl-AppConfig-1.52-3.noarch.rpm'.

wget --continue --timestamping http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/systemconfig/perl-AppConfig-1.52-3.noarch.rpm failed! at ./installer.pl line 185
        main::download_packages() called at ./installer.pl line 136


So I tried to install the rpm manually.  This led me on a wild goose chase requiring me to install several other rpms in order for the perl-AppConfig to install.  I finally reached the alternatives-1.3.6-3cl.i386.rpm, but again it stalled giving me this message:


        file /usr/sbin/alternatives from install of alternatives-1.3.6-3cl conflicts with file from package chkconfig-1.3.8-1
        file /usr/share/man/man8/alternatives.8.gz from install of alternatives-1.3.6-3cl conflicts with file from package chkconfig-1.3.8-1

I've tried this on 3 different computers all running RedHat 9.0.  If anyone has encountered the same thing or has advice, please help.
