Hi,
I have installed Opensuse 12.2 64 on my server and downloaded the source code for OpenNebula 4.0 Beta (3.9.80) as I like to compile the Opennebula source code and install manually rather than using the Opennebula rpm’s. After a complicated install process of ruby and xmlrpc-c I now can compile opennebula and have installed opennebula (sqlite version as I had too much trouble compiling for mysql so gave up).
I am now able to start opennebula via the one start command and it works, the problem I have is with the opennebula web gui sunstone, when I try to start sunstone using the sunstone-server start command I get an error
/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in ‘gem_original_require’ no sutch file to load – json (LoadError)
from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby1.8/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in ‘gem_original_require’

from /srv/cloud/one/bin/novnc-server:54:in ‘require’
from /srv/cloud/one/bin/novnc-server:54
Could not start novnc server
Error executing sunstone-server
When I run zypper install rubygems I get ‘rubygems’ is already installed.
No update candidate for ‘rubygems-1.8.15-1.1.x86_64’. The highest available version is already installed.
Searching the internet I have found that I need to install ruby-devel for ruby 1.8.7 and this does not seem to exist. I cannot use ruby 1.9 which is the default for opensuse 12.2 as I cannot compile opennebula when using ruby 1.9
Opennbula does come with a rubygems_install script but when I run this I get the message “Install the ruby development package for your distro”.
I then use zypper install ruby-devel and get the messages:
ruby-devel is already installed.
No update candidate for ‘ruby-devel-1.9.3-2.2.1.x86_64’ the higest available version is already installed.
Is there a way to install the ruby-devel for ruby-1.8.7?
I think I have solved the problem by un-installing ruby and re-installing ruby 1.9.3, I got some ruby errors but one starts and so does the sunstone-server.
Not sure if I can recompile opennebula source code, will try again when opennebula 4.x is released.
Thanks for replying, i’m still having problems with xen and opennebula 3.9.8.0, the probem seems to be with parsing files, probably because of ruby. I’ve tried few different ruby libraries as you suggested (not in chroot or a vm) and have broken a few dependancies.
I have not been able to find where I can submit a feature request to bugzilla requesting a build that’s as current as possible? Can you send me a link?
I have been hosting opennebula on opensuse 11.3 for about 3+ years and the only reason I upgraded was because I discovered that current versions of mongodb (a requirement for the devops part of opennebula) had issues with 11.3. I first tried upgrading from scratch to opensuse 12.3 but straight away had issues with xen. I then re-installed using 12.2, got further with xen but the issue with ruby is getting from bad to worse. I would like to stay with opensuse but these issues may push me to a different distro.
I have now completed an installation of OpenNebula 4.0 Beta (3.9.80) and I must say it looks good and works very well.
My latest issue was with the libxmlrpc libraries having dependancy issues so I un-installed the existing libraries by searching via zypper se libxmlrpc which lists all libraries then issued the zypper remove command listing all found libraries.
Once all libraries were removed I issued the following to download and install xmlrpc-c (Stated on the opennebula site) and all my xmlrpc errors disappeared.
