perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Help.

I am trying to install perfSONAR-BUOY on top of RHEL6 on x86_64.  I am 
following the instructions on http://psps.perfsonar.net/psb/install.html

At first the issue was that the package 
http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/i386/main/RPMS/Internet2-repo-0.2-5.noarch.rpm
 points at the i386 repository instead of the x86_64.  I uninstalled the i386 
packages and reinstalled using x86_64.

Next the perl-Math-Int64 package is compiled for the wrong version of perl 
for RHEL6.  I downloaded the source from CPAN and installed it on top of the 
rpm.

Now I'm working through the readme at 
http://psps.perfsonar.net/psb/readme.html.
bin/owdb.pl -c ../etc -i ADMIN_USER_NAME doesn't work from 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/perfsonarbuoy_ma

ERROR
[root@perfsonar
 perfsonarbuoy_ma]# bin/owdb.pl -c ../etc -i root
Unable to open Global conf:../etc/owmesh.conf at 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/perfsonarbuoy_ma/bin/../lib/OWP/Conf.pm line 381.
/ERROR

./owdb.pl -c ../etc -i ADMIN_USER_NAME will work from 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/perfsonarbuoy_ma/bin until it tries to create the database. 
 Then I get the following error:

ERROR
[root@perfsonar
 bin]# ./owdb.pl -c ../etc -i root

Unable to create database owamp at 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/perfsonarbuoy_ma/bin/../lib/OWP/DB.pm line 125, <STDIN> 
line 1.
/ERROR

Thanks.
