The rpm I quoted has patches so that it will work with the autoconf included in EL5. >> wget ${EPEL_MIRROR_OF_CHOICE}/5/SRPMS/ruby-mysql-2.7.3-1.el5.src.rpm >> rpm -i ruby-mysql-2.7.3-1.el5.src.rpm >> rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ruby-mysql.spec >> >> Next thing is that Puppet Dashboard requires a newer version of Ruby Gems, >> but it doesn't tell you this.

We ship rubygems 1.3.7 in Puppet Enterprise and I haven't Yep, but you use macros only supported since 1.3.6. EL5 has 1.3.1 from EPEL. > You should be able yum install rubygem-rake from epel. (unless the > rubygems version change prevents that) That ruby gem requires ruby-1.8.5. It only worked for me after I installed 0.9.2 straight from gems. FYI, I've found some other issues: * puppet-dashboard-workers init script uses RH6-specific functions: rhstatus_q fails on EL5. I had to write a manifest to overwrite that file with something that doesn't use that function. You could write that to be agnostic to the version (or provide an EL5-specific RPM) * the monitors run, but the workers die. They create pid files and then exit. I can't figure out why. Right now I have to run them using the "env…" command in the bootstrapping.html documentation. I'll resume chasing down that issue on Monday. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
