Re: [AG-TECH] AG2.4 setup error

["Zephyr Zhangbo Liu" <zephyr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug,

I did what you suggested and then it complained three dependencies
needed which are pyGlobus, pyOpenSSL_AG and SOAPpy. During the rebuild
of pyGlobus with pyGlobus-1.0.10-2.fc3.src.rpm, I found it set the
$GLOBUS_LOCATION to /usr/lib64/globus while I installed it to
/usr/lib/globus, so I made a symbolic link for them. Then it came with
the following errors:
...
+ export GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/lib64/globus
+ GLOBUS_LOCATION=/usr/lib64/globus
+ /usr/bin/python setup.py build --flavor=gcc64pthr
Checking for which modules to build
Checking the  util  module
Missing dependency to build the  util  package.
The following is the error message from globus-makefile-header.
('No packages were found that matched your query!\n',)
This package is required to build all of pyGlobus.
Now exiting from the build
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42880 (%build)

For the other two components, pyOpenSSL_AG needs elinks and SOAPpy
needs python-abi and the procedure of installing them are both
problematic.

If directly build from AccessGrid-2.4-5.i586.rpm, will come with following messages:
Preparing...               
########################################### [100%]

ImportError: No module named AccessGrid.AppDb
chmod: cannot access `/etc/AccessGrid/SharedApplications/VenueVNC/vncviewer': No such file or directory
error: %post(AccessGrid-2.4-5) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

During the time trying to solve the problem I found it is hard to find
rpms that support SUSE, most of them I've found are for FC. Is it
possible that switch to FC can make it easier to setup the AGTK on
Linux. Which configuration(including Linux version and AGTK version) do
you recommend?

Please give some advices on the problem.

Thanks,
Zephyr

Something has failed to build, the BuildSnapshot.py script continues even if
something has failed earlier on.

You will have more luck trying to build
compat-AccessGrid-2.4-5.20060503cvs.fc3.src.rpm from here (which just use
plain SRPM files):
   http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/fedora/3/SRPMS/

try:
  rpm -i compat-AccessGrid-2.4-5.20060503cvs.fc3.src.rpm
  cd /usr/src/suse/SPECS
# change the wxPython dependency to python-wxGTK with vi
  vi compat-AccessGrid.spec
  rpmbuild -ba compat-AccessGrid.spec

It will complain about missing dependencies, rebuild any that aren't
available with SUSE from the SRPMs in the above URL...

Cheers,
Doug
