Hi,

Unfortunately i think the issue is that you're using RH 6.2, and we only officially support 5.8 installations since that's what the toolkit runs. It looks like there might be some dependencies that don't have el6 equivalents. If you have the dependencies installed via CPAN , you could try grabbing the RPMs directly and installing them with the "--nodeps". Not ideal but it should work.

Hello Andy,

I also have the EPEL repository installed, but I still get unresolved dependencies.

Thanks again

Hi,

Actually we do not recommend those repositories anymore. We recommend using EPEL. See http://software.internet2.edu/. You can find instructions for configuring you server to use EPEL here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL. 

Thanks,

Andy

Subject: Re: [perfsonar-user] PingER Installation Issue

Good morning,

the generic installation instructions under
http://psps.perfsonar.net/pinger/install.html imply, that you have to
contain at least one of the following repositories

http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/

in order to resolve all of the dependencies.

Best regards from germany,
Christian Baensch
