arangodb RHEL install fails via yum

[Shekar Tippur]

Hello..

I get a error when trying to install arangodb on RHEL 5.

# yum install arangodb

http://www.arangodb.org/repositories/stable/RedHat_RHEL-6/i686/arangodb-1.3.0-13.1.i686.rpm: [Errno -1] Header is not complete.

Trying other mirror.

Error: failure: i686/arangodb-1.3.0-13.1.i686.rpm from arangodb: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

Here is the OS information -

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)

Linux master 2.6.18-8.el5xen #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:29:35 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Appreciate if anyone can guide me thro the install.

I am not sure at all as I have no RedHat installed at the moment.
Interpreting the error message below it looks like there are problems
downloading the RPM.

Can you confirm that you can access and download the rpm?

If you do a

> wget
"http://www.arangodb.org/repositories/stable/RedHat_RHEL-6/i686/arangodb-1.3.0-13.1.i686.rpm"

it should download the RPM with a size of about 27MB.

The md5sum of the file should be:

> md5sum arangodb-1.3.0-13.1.i686.rpm
240b1eb374ad7cc12fb099fa964e97c8 arangodb-1.3.0-13.1.i686.rpm

If these steps work ok, can you then trying to install from the
downloaded rpm to see if there's also a problem?

Btw the rpm is built for RHEL 6. I am not sure if there is going to be a
problem when this is used on RHEL 5. I would need to check that.

But could you try the above steps first?

Thank you and best regards
Jan

240b1eb374ad7cc12fb099fa964e97c8  arangodb-1.3.0-13.1.i686.rpm

The md5sum matches. 

I see failed dependencies when I try to install the rpm

We are using the OpenSuSE Build Service to build the packages. Unfortunately, RHEL 5 is no longer support, the oldest (and only :-) supported version there is RHEL 6.

If seems that RHEL 5 does not provided suitable (ie newer) versions required by the executable. There are two possibilities:

(1) You compile RHEL 5 by yourself. You need a RHEL with GNU C/C++ and the autotools. Do you have access to such a machine?
(2) We try to find a Centos somewhere and compile it there. This however can take some time.

Is it possible for you to try (1)?

cheers

Frank -

Sure .. Let me give it a shot. If it works, Can I submit it for someone else to use?

To upgrade to 6.x is expensive as I cannot do it inline.

- Shekar

[Frank Celler]

My hope is that it is easy (basically ./configure with the right options and "make install") to compile ArangoDB under RHEL 5. If this is the case, we should but the correct options into the manual. Can you try:

./configure --enable-all-in-one-libev --enable-all-in-one-icu --enable-all-in-one-v8

The hard would then be to build a real RPM package. That is better be automate (and we are using the SuSE build server for this).

[Shekar Tippur]

Sure .. That helps. Can I get the spec file so I can attempt to create the rpm?

- Shekar

[Frank Celler]

Yes, you can find it here:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=arangodb&project=home%3Afceller

[Shekar Tippur]

Hmm .. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=arangodb&project=home%3Afceller throws a 503 error.

[Jan Steemann]

I can access it without problems, using my browser. I can also download
the page with wget.

I am at home, using a not-too-fast internet connection, no proxy servers
and no extra authentification.

Though HTTP 503 is a server-side error, is it possible that you're
behind some proxy server that prevents you from accessing the web page?

Best regards
Jan

Ran that to compile ...

checking readline/readline.h presence... yes

checking for readline/readline.h... yes

checking for readline in -lreadline... no

Trying to dig in further. Any quick tip?

ends with this error.

Interesting ...

$ rpm -qa|grep readline

I see readline rpm already installed. Wondering what could be the issue.

Strange. Can you append the config.log?

[Frank Celler]

I did some googling. Can you try:

./configure --enable-all-in-one-v8 --enable-all-in-one-icu --enable-all-in-one-libev LDFLAGS=-lncurses

[Shekar Tippur]

Let me try this...

Awesome .. Thanks a lot. I am able to compile it.

Looks like the python (2.4.2) version would not take 

 with open(source_path) as source_file: format.

Looked up the recommended version on python site http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.4/

and installed the latest.

I am able to get to the arangodb shell now.

A big thanks to Jan and Frank for guiding me through.

So for anyone's benefit, to get arangodb running on RHEL 5.X 64 bit platform,

1. Install GIT

2. git clone https://github.com/triAGENS/ArangoDB

3. Get latest python version http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.4/Python-2.7.4.tar.bz2 (or whatever is the latest)

    bzip2 -d Python-2.7.4.tar.bz2 && tar xf Python-2.7.4.tar 

   cd Python-2.7.4

   sudo ./configure

   sudo make

   sudo make install

4. go to ArangoDB folder and 

   sudo ./configure --enable-all-in-one-v8 --enable-all-in-one-icu --enable-all-in-one-libev LDFLAGS=-lncurses

   sudo make

   sudo make install

This should do the trick.

[Frank Celler]

Cool, I put the instruction into the manual.
