Known issues

• As always, to correctly install or upgrade the RPM version of glite-WN you need to use yum groupupdate glite-WN. However with this release there are problems during a clean install and potentially during an update for which special action is needed:

A number of packages from any previous installation need to be removed and some 32bit packages need to be excluded during the update or installation. For example use the following yum commands:

yum -y remove dpm dpm-devel lcgdm-devel lfc lfc-devel perl-dpm perl-lfc

yum -y --exclude=dpm.i386,dpm-devel.i386,lcgdm-devel.i386,lfc.i386,lfc-devel.i386,perl-dpm.i386,perl-lfc.i386 groupupdate glite-WN

• Attempting to run 32bit applications which need libdpm.so, liblfc.so or liblcgdm.so (i.e. LFC or DPM applications) will fail. This because of missing symbolic links to the relevant libraries. For an RPM installation this can be resolved by the addition of certain packages after the installation or upgrade:

rpm -ivh http://eticssoft.web.cern.ch/eticssoft/repository/org.glite/LCG-DM/1.8.0/sl5_ia32_gcc412/dpm-devel-1.8.0-1sec.sl5.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh http://eticssoft.web.cern.ch/eticssoft/repository/org.glite/LCG-DM/1.8.0/sl5_ia32_gcc412/lfc-devel-1.8.0-1sec.sl5.i386.rpm

rpm -ivh http://eticssoft.web.cern.ch/eticssoft/repository/org.glite/LCG-DM/1.8.0/sl5_ia32_gcc412/lcgdm-devel-1.8.0-1sec.sl5.i386.rpm

For the tarball installation run the following:

ln -s libdpm.so.1.8.0 ${INSTALL_ROOT}/lcg/lib/libdpm.so

ln -s liblfc.so.1.8.0 ${INSTALL_ROOT}/lcg/lib/liblfc.so

ln -s liblcgdm.so.1.8.0 ${INSTALL_ROOT}/lcg/lib/liblcgdm.so

being sure that INSTALL_ROOT is defined in your environment or making the appropriate substitution in the above commands.

• To configure the tarball installation with the glite-WN_tar node type the following function should be removed from ${INSTALL_ROOT}/glite/yaim/node-info.d/glite-wn_tar: config_glite_saga to avoid an error during configuration. (ERROR: /usr/local/share/saga does not exist)
