[tahoe-dev] Tahoe-LAFS on Fedora 14

[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]

Dear Sameer:

I've written a FAQ about the build system which names the six
libraries that are needed and explains how you could possibly get them
from "yum install" or else build them as "Python eggs":

https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/CompileError

https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs/README.html

To find out what row of that matrix matches the XO-1, run:

python -c 'import distutils.util;print
distutils.util.get_platform();import distutils.sysconfig;print
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_version()'

You earlier reported:

platform: Linux-2.6.35.13_xo1-20111005.1403.olpc.c2bd7b9-i586-with-fedora-11-based_on_Fedora_14
machine:  i586
python: 2.7 (r27:82500, Sep 16 2010, 18:03:06)  [GCC 4.5.1 20100907
(Red Hat 4.5.1-3)]

Since the machine type is "i586" instead of "i686", I suspect that may
be why the OLPC builds don't use the "linux-x86" packages offered from
the tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs directory. Maybe we could build some packages
with "i586" (by building them on the OLPC 1.5) and make a new row on
that matrix.

Regards,

Zooko
