Installing Tools on OVM 3.2.x

New page

== Tools ==

Tools:
* GCC / Make
* Python
* Mercurial

The trick being to not upgrade any existing packages that came with the base system (otherwise it compromises the validity of the base system).

== Installing Tools on OVM 3.3.x ==

Install Oracle (oel6_5) Public Yum repository:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo

Edit public-yum-ol6.repo (using 'vi'):
* disable [ol6_latest], [ol6_UEK_latest]
* enable [ol5_u5_base]
** <s>enable [ol5_u4_base] (possibly ol5_u5_base, and some stuff in ol6_latest but slow)</s>

Or just use:
<pre>
[ol6_u5_base]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Update 5 installation media copy ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/5/base/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
</pre>

Warning: the Oracle Public Yum repo is slow!

Exclude kernel from yum updates:
echo "exclude=kernel*" >> /etc/yum.conf

Manually install Kernel headers:
rpm -Uvh http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/4/base/x86_64/getPackage/kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/4/base/x86_64/getPackage/kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64.rpm

Install Yum key???
cp /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle.original
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6 -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle

Install dependencies:
yum install zlib-devel.x86_64 bzip2-devel.x86_64 bc
# hg: zlib-devel bzip2-devel

Manual hack to get GCC dependencies: (PITA!)
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/getPackage/glibc-headers-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm

rpm -Uvh glibc-headers-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm glibc-devel-2.12-1.107.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm
yum install gcc

Manual hack to get OpenSSL dependencies: (PITA!)
yum install keyutils-libs-devel libselinux-devel # I forgot to check if these were still required

wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/getPackage/libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-14.el6_4.2.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh libcom_err-devel-1.41.12-14.el6_4.2.x86_64.rpm

wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/getPackage/krb5-devel-1.10.3-10.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh krb5-devel-1.10.3-10.el6_4.4.x86_64.rpm

wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/getPackage/openssl-devel-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh openssl-devel-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.x86_64.rpm

# test later, after python install, with "import ssl"

== Installing Tools on OVM 3.2.x ==

Install Oracle (oel5_5) Public Yum repository:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo

Edit public-yum-el5.repo (using 'vi'):
* disable [el5_latest]
* enable [el5_u5_base] <s>, [ol5_u5_base]</s>

Or just use:
<pre>
[el5_u5_base]
name=Enterprise Linux $releasever Update 5 installation media copy ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/EnterpriseLinux/EL5/5/base/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
</pre>

ol5_u5 is now broken, so don't use this!
<pre>
[ol5_u5_base]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Update 5 installation media copy ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/5/base/x86_64/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
</pre>

Warning: the Oracle Public Yum repo is slow! A few times the repo has appeared to be online, but when attempting to download files you get a "''File not found."''" error.
