Hi,
While tracking down a qa issue, I ended up with a machine (Centos
5.11 i386) that had a too old default version of python to build pcp
python support. So python configuration was disabled. The core of pcp
built fine and installed, but QA failed very early on with:
...........
sample.dodgey.control old value=-1044 new value=5
rm -f reduce-gap.*
pmlogextract reduce-1 reduce-2 reduce-gap
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/lib/pcp/testsuite/src'
=== pmdas ===
make[1]: Entering directory `/var/lib/pcp/testsuite/pmdas'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `slow_python', needed by `setup'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/lib/pcp/testsuite/pmdas'
make: *** [setup] Error 2
Error: /usr/bin/make setup failed
I know that there is ongoing python work currently, but since this is a
new VM type for me, I'm not sure if this is a new issue or not.
I was able to work around this by doing:
env PYTHON=python2.6 Makepkgs
and everything seems to work out fine, python pcp pieces are built, qa
works etc.
Is that the suggested procedure on older machines? Does QA require
python to work in general?
Thanks
Martins
