Hello all,

Attempting to install NMS 2008.2 on Redhat ES5.3 (Centos 5.3)

When running the script   ./rhes5.sh

It all works with the exception of  the following ....

21:selinux-policy-targeted########################################### [ 60%]
libsepol.print_missing_requirements: dnsmasq's global requirements were not met: type/attribute initscript
libsemanage.semanage_link_sandbox: Link packages failed
semodule:  Failed!

Any ideas anyone?

Anything specific with the install you have perfomed on your system ?

Can you try to update using the procedure in http://www.city-fan.org/tips/BuildSeLinuxPolicyModules --> Just a yum and getting the latest.

Also, instead of using the package provided with the system update, if you can update these  packages by doing a yum update.

Thanks,
Chandra

Did the yum update

and seem to be using selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-203.el5.noarch.rpm

I then tried to do an update of the package using yum from the linux update script and got the following. 

[root@nsm es5]# yum update selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-104.el5.noarch.rpm

So is this a show stopper (I am using Centos 5.3) D0 I have to be running 5.2?

So thinking this wasn't a show stopper(?) proceded to the actual installation  where it seems to pass all the prerequisites, bit I now get the following ...

Any ideas ?

I think you have your installer on /root/NSM.  This has restricted permissions.

Can you try to place the installer in /tmp or your home directory ?

Thanks,
Chandra

Thanks for the reply .... I'm going mad here 🙂

I tried it in /home/username ? then tried it in /root/NSM-install but had the same issue in both instances of not being able to write to /root/NSM?

I ran into the same issue with 5.3 - rolled my server back to 5.1 and the update then ran clean.

I had 

/bin/chmod: cannot access `/tmp/netmgtstaging.20090421110744/lmPkg/bin/installIdTool': No such file or directory

When my installer download was corrupt, seems like for some reason the section that was putting the installIdTool into the staging directory wasn't there (if you go look in the directory in another xterm you will see it's not present).

This

"

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

"

Is the giveaway for that I think, 

Take a fresh copy of the installer and see if it helps.

Thanks

Hello,

Try installing these packages:

yum install libsepol.i386 libsepol-devel.i386 libsemanage.i386 libsemanage-devel.i386

 and then delete dnsmasq SELinux module :

semodule -r dnsmasq

Testing on: Centos 5.2  - but it should work well for Centos 5.3
