[Users] Problem with required packages when installing ovirt-engine
I'm new here, and am trying to install ovirt-engine, as documented on ovirt.org/get-ovirt, and in the installation guide. I've worked with RPM-based distributions (RHEL, Centos, Scientific Linux) for quite a while, but have never worked with Fedora. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or failing to do: I am trying to install ovirt-engine on a newly-built Scientific Linux 6.1 (just like RHEL 6.1) machine. I did the "wget ...ovirt-engine.repo", and removed the classpathx-jaf RPM. Then I tried to "yum install ovirt-engine", and got a number of errors: Error: Package: ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: jakarta-commons-jxpath Error: Package: ovirt-engine-log-collector-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: python(abi) = 2.7 Installed: python-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201107271550.x86_64) python(abi) = 2.6 Error: Package: ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: jakarta-commons-configuration Error: Package: ovirt-engine-jboss-deps-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: hsqldb >= 1:1.8.0.10-9 Installed: 1:hsqldb-1.8.0.10-8.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201107271550.x86_64) hsqldb = 1:1.8.0.10-8.el6 Error: Package: ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) Error: Package: ovirt-engine-jboss-deps-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: jakarta-commons-discovery >= 1:0.4-7 Installed: 1:jakarta-commons-discovery-0.4-5.4.el6.noarch (@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201107271550.x86_64) I'm suppose this means that I need newer versions of some packages that are installed now, and these are not available in a yum repo that my yum can see. The only change to the installed yum environment I have made is to add the ovirt-engine repo. I don't see anything in the docs about pointing to some Fedora repo, or some such thing, but perhaps that's what I need to do. Can someone please enlighten me?

I could be wrong but suspect you could have better luck with 6.2 (I believe SL has this out now?). Steve

The problem is that you are installing fedora packages into SL. They were really built for Fedora. They may actually work, but I believe that their are some packages missing from base repos for RHEL, SL, and CentOS. On RHEL, you would get those packages when you added RHEV. I don't think they exist for SL or CentOS. Look through the January messages on this board. SOmeone was doing the install on one of the EL clones and you may find more info there. Otherwise you could try using Fedora. -- Gary Scarborough IST Lab Manager Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester NY

Thank you. Yes, I naively assumed that this would install on any reasonablly current RPM-based system, since I didn't see (and still don't see) any system requirements anywhere in any docs that suggest otherwise. All I see says "point to our yum repo and install it". When I saw the failed dependencies when I tries to install the engine, I started to suspect that this was based on a far "newer" system than I had. I have now installed Fedora 16, and will try again.

I am somewhat surprised this is not supported for SL or CentOS considering the main target audience would presumably be Admins with many critical VM's to manage. Fedora being generally considered not really suitable in Production. Maybe I'm missing something here. ****************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
