Linux and Erlang install
Posted on 2012-12-20
I just executed the following
I go to the directory and the repository is there
The site I am getting this from has incomplete instructions
Now that I have the file what do I do. Apparently not an rpm
Do I perofmr a yum command, how do I install the repository ?
Thanks
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-erlang.repo http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/peter/erlang/epel-erlang.repo
I go to the directory and the repository is there
[root@rhel ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
[root@rhel yum.repos.d]# ls epel-erlang.repo
epel-erlang.repo
[root@rhel yum.repos.d]#

I just tried a yum install erlang, and got the following
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
erlang-odbc-R14B-04.1.el5.
--> Missing Dependency: libodbc.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package erlang-odbc-R14B-04.1.el5.
wxGTK-2.8.12-1.el5.x86_64 from epel has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: libSDL-1.2.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package wxGTK-2.8.12-1.el5.x86_64 (epel)

Error: Missing Dependency: libSDL-1.2.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package wxGTK-2.8.12-1.el5.x86_64 (epel)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

How can I install these dependencies ?

I think you should consult the Fedora EPEL project pages.
This one
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
says in regard to RHEL and dependencies:
You need to also enable the 'optional' repository to use EPEL packages as they depend on packages in that repository. This can be done by enabling the RHEL optional subchannel for RHN-Classic. For certificate-based subscriptions see RHEL Deployment Guide.
Here is how to enable an additional subchannel:
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/11312
And this is the part of the Deployment Guide on supplementary repositories:
http://rdsrc.us/sjzdtd

Is there a way to get an 'optional' repository, and how can I get one ?

Could it be that your subscription is incomplete?
You could try "subscription-manager" or "subscription-manager-gui"
Do you use RHEL Classic channels or RHEL Certificate-based product certificates?
If Classic, did you look here?
https://www.redhat.com/wapps/sso/login.html?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Frhn.redhat.com%2Frhn%2Fsoftware%2Fchannels%2FAll.do
I don't have an RHEL entitlement, so I can't give any further detail.

If anything fails you can of course try to install the libraries for CentOS/Fedora.
This is libodbc: (CentOS):
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libodbc.so.1&submit=Search+...&system=centos&arch=
This is libSDL (Fedora):
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libSDL-1.2.so.0&submit=Search+...&system=fedora&arch=

I tried the following but it did not work
[root@rhel yum.repos.d]# subscription-manager
bash: subscription-manager: command not found
[root@rhel yum.repos.d]#
[root@rhel yum.repos.d]# subscription-manager-gui
bash: subscription-manager-gui: command not found
[root@rhel yum.repos.d]#
Did I perform that correctly ?
Also, how do I tell if I use RHEL Classic channels or RHEL Certificate-based product certificates?
[root@rhel yum.repos.d]# subscription-manager
bash: subscription-manager: command not found

These tools must be run as root.
Here is the HOWTO on subscription manager:
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/launching-ents-tools.html
If you don't even have that tool installed it's quite probable that you're not running certificate-based.
