I don't have any direct experience with using XenServer. Are you finding that you can't build/install rpyc or thrift? Those would be the dependencies that are most complex to get working. Are you trying to install packages of the same name as you needed in Ubuntu? I'm not sure that's the right course since it appears that XenServer is based on CentOS 5.
I'd recommend trying to build rpyc and thrift directly (from source) and reporting back on any errors you may encounter on the mailing list I've CC'd (it also includes other developers and users). Please let us know how it goes. - Michael Ryan _____________________________________________ From: Li, Wenlong Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 4:27 AM To: Ryan, Michael P Subject: Ask question about tashi installation on XenServer Hello, Dear Colleague, I am trying to deploy tashi in XenServer, but encounter some problems requiring your help. I installed XenServer 5.5.0-15119p, and kernel version is "Linux xenserver-nhsmxfqv 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.496.1012xen #1 SMP Fri May 29 07:35:00 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux" >From the tashi document, we need install some dependent packages (for >examples, these packages are reqruired for Ubuntu: libboost-dev automake >libtool flex bison, g++ libboost-python-dev python-dev python-dbg). However, >in XenServer, we don't have apt-get there. Instead, XenServer uses yum. During installing these required packages, I found some packages are not there (the red marked packages). Do you have experience in settuping tashi on XenServer, and can you please share your workaround? I am assuming the yum repository provided by XenServer OS is full, but may still miss something for these packages needed by Tashi. Any advice to help this problem is appreciated. Thx, Wenlong
