[LON-CAPA-admin] CentOS 5 perl problem

Todd,
rpms for perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS and perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder have now
been added to the LON-CAPA yum repositories on install.loncapa.org
for centOS 5, RHEL 5,
and Scientific Linux 5.
Those are the last hitherto unsatisfied dependencies, so you will not
need to use the EPEL repository. That said, I would not anticipate
problems if you did use packages from EPEL in place of corresponding
packages from install.loncapa.org.
Use of a custom gnuplot package for LON-CAPA was eliminated in
December 2007 (with LON-CAPA 2.6); the standard gnuplot 4.2 is used
currently. The only rpms for these distros which include
modifications from those that might be expected from a standard build
are:
perl-HTML-Parser_loncapa (replaces perl-HTML-Parser)
perl-Authen-Krb4
perl-Authen-Krb5
perl-Math-Random (default package behavior changed after version 0.67
breaking backwards compatibility; the LON-CAPA version persists with
the pre-0.68 default).
If additional future customizations are needed for other packages I
expect to use the approach adopted for HTML-Parser (i.e., append
_loncapa and use Obsoletes and Replaces directives in the rpm - these
are both supported by yum).
In general, the preference is to use packages from standard
repositories when possible to minimize the number of packages which
need to be built and served from install.loncapa.org. To date, the
EPEL repository has not been included in the yum.conf provided for
LON-CAPA installation on Red Hat 5Server, CentOS 5 and Scientific
Linux 5, so I have continued to build packages to satisfy any package
depedencies which are unmet from the base repositories for the
corresponding distributions.
It is possible in Centos 5 to set up priorities in yum to ensure that
packages from a particular repository have precedence over packages
with the same name from other repositories. You'll need to install
yum-priorities to take advantage of this, and modify your yum.conf file.
