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? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

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. _______________________________________________
