Dependency hell with Mandrake 9.2

Hi,

I recently stood up a Mandrake 9.2 box for the sole purpose of installing
and using OpenNMS.  The OS install went pretty smoothly but I've ran into a
boatload of problems trying to install OpenNMS.

Being the trusting type, I tried:

lynx -source http://install.opennms.org/stable | sh

After getting the j2sdk-1_4_2_02-linux-i586-rpm.bin from Sun, I set the
JAVA_HOME variable and tried, once again:

lynx -source http://install.opennms.org/stable | sh

I got tons of dependency install errors.  After reading about .RPMs in
general I found some sites like rpmfind.net and began solving each
dependency, one at a time.  I'm to the point now where a

lynx -source http://install.opennms.org/stable | sh

reports:

<snip>
ok
- installing dependencies...
Everything already installed
Everything already installed
Everything already installed
Some package requested cannot be installed:
libpgperl-7.2.2-1mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied perl[== 5.8.0])
postgresql-devel-7.2.2-1mdk.i586 (due to missing libpgperl-7.2.2-1mdk.i586)

Taking the first failed dependency, libpgperl-7.2.2-1mdk.i586, I searched
for a later version of this RPM since the perl I have is 5.8.1, which, silly
me, thought would work if 5.8.0 is called for.  I found
libpgperl-7.2.2-1.3.90mdk.i586, which I assume is newer, but it said it
required Perl 5.8.0, too.

So what should I do, uninstall Perl 5.8.1 and replace it with Perl 5.8.0?

Looking at the larger picture, is there some way to get out of this RRM
dependency hell?  I'm a FreeBSD user, used to it's lovely ports collection
and elegant upgrade tools, such as portupgrade, which takes care of all this
crap for me.  I thought Linux was suppose to be elegant... maybe I'm missing
something, but RPMs seem to be a crude hack at best... PLEASE tell me I *am*
missing something?!

TIA,

Did you remove the apt package as well? Make sure that OpenNMS, Tomcat  
and RRDTool are removed, make sure apt is removed, remove the /etc/apt  
directory and then try the lynx installer once again.

Okay, I'll try and avoid the religious discussion (grin) but the main  
thing you are suffering from is that I haven't tested the install  
process on Mandrake 9.2 at all.

I am not a Mandrake user, so the urpmi stuff was donated code, and it  
seemed to work on Mandrake 9.0. You may want to:

1) Go to ftp.opennms.org and download all of the RPMs for Mandrake 9
2) Manually install them (you may need to remove some of the packages  
first)

Good luck.

Okay, now when you read the release notes, which of course you did  
(http://www.opennms.org/users/docs/docs/html/release-1.1.2.html), you  
modified your postgres configuration to allow for TCP/IP connections,  
and you modified your tomcat4.conf file to allow tomcat4 to run as root  
(and to point to your SDK).

Just in case, can you double check those steps? You should be able to  
go to http://[opennms_server]:8080 and get the default tomcat page.  
Does that work?

RE: Segmentation Fault

I'm not installing 1.1.2, so I haven't gone over the details in the 1.1.2
release (although I was thinking about using it for our testing
environment).  This is going into production at my company, so I downloaded
the "stable" version, which, I'm assuming is still 1.0.2, at least,
according to the website.

No, I cannot attach to port 8080 and tomcat does not have a running PID.

Yes, I did modify PostgreSQL to attach to TCP, and modified the max
connections and shared memory sizes.

In my tomcat4.conf file, it is already set to run as root.  And it looks
like it uses $JAVA_HOME.  But I'm no expert, so, I went ahead and manually
declared it as well.

Same problem.  The OS tells me the services start up "OK" (I can do a stop,
start, restart for opennms and tomcat4, all saying "OK"), but there is
nothing in my process list, and I cannot attach to port 8080.  I installed
everything via lynx (except Postgres which was an RPM install via Redhat
installation CD's):

lynx -source http://install.opennms.org/stable | sh

PostgreSQL is running.  And doing a "service opennms status" shows OpenNMS
not running.

I've never had this problem installing before, but then, I've never done it
on Redhat9.  Only on Redhat 7.2

Thanks for the replies, T!  I really hope I can get this to work.  I
purchased a pretty robust server for this system.

Aaron

Mibs are polled but not reported in Opennms

I use OpenNMS on a Proliant 1600 with Mandrake 9.1, the client snmp are at this
time NET-SNMP 5.07 (rpm) for Linux.
- I can with snmpwalk -v 1-c xxx IP <at>  system see the snmp tree,
- In /var/opennms/rrd/snmp/34/ there is 9 file.rrd,
- In a second directory /var/opennms/rrd/snmp/34/eth0-0004754c093a/ there is 5
file.rrd,
- the nodeid 34 is the good one, all rrd files are updated by polling,
- I add rrd descriptions in /opt/OpenNMS/etc/snmp-graph.properties
But when I go in Opennms reports only 4 graphs appear ...

Thank's by advance to help me, Nicolas.

Sorry I missed that.

There shouldn't be any real problems. Let's tackle each one at a time.

First, stop OpenNMS and Tomcat ("killall java" will work - repeat until  
you get "no process killed" - you may have to run "killall  -9 java").

Second, go to /var/log/opennms and "rm *" to remove all of the logs.

Third, start OpenNMS (service opennms start).

Finally, run the following in the /var/log/opennms directory:

grep FATAL *
grep ERROR *

Let me know if you get anything interesting.

In snmp-graph.properties, at the top, there is a line that starts  
"reports=". Did you list your new reports on that line? Note that it is  
one long line (add the \ at the end).

P.S. Feel free to send me any new report definitions and collections  
you come up with, and I'll add them to the default code.
