perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Tsompanidis Ilias <>]

Hello all,
I am experiencing problems installing the release version of perfsonar 
(trying the rrdma at first).

I'm using Gentoo linux (2.6 kernel) on intel architecture, tomcat 
5.5.17-r1 (via emerge), axis 1.4 (installed manually from binary 
package), exist snapshot-20060316 .

I followed the installation instructions from 
http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/svn/perfsonar/branches/release/perfsonar/releng/perfSONAR-1.0/Readme.txt 

and I altered a bit the installation script in order to get it working 
correctly with the new tomcat-on-gentoo directory layout (conf files are 
in /etc/tomcat5.5 and not on $tomcat/conf)

It seemed to have installed OK, but running the test-ma.sh script i was 
disappointed to see the attached output. Any ideas?
I have also attached the existing environmental variables...

Thanks in advance,
Ilias Tsompanidis
