无法在CentOS上安装condor

Question

I have been trying to install condor on my centos virtual machine but keep getting the following errors:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: condor-classads-8.5.5-1.el6.x86_64 (htcondor-development)
           Requires: libpcre.so.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: condor-8.5.5-1.el6.x86_64 (htcondor-development)
           Requires: ecryptfs-utils
Error: Package: condor-8.5.5-1.el6.x86_64 (htcondor-development)
           Requires: libpcre.so.0()(64bit)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I looked around online and tried all the suggestions but nothing's worked. I did the next logical thing and tried to install those packages but doing yum install ecryptfs-utils gave me "Nothing to do," message. Same with libpcre.so.0() I'm a beginner with Linux so I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Help appreciated.

Answer 1

Get condor from the official location . It has all the binaries it needs.

Answer 2

I had the same issue, and this was happening because yum was trying to install different version of condor. I was running centos 6.6, but yum was trying to install centos 7 (rhel 7) version. The reason for this was, by mistake, I initially downloaded and setup the rhel7 repo details of condor, and results got cached.

The solution is to clear yum cache ( yum clean all ), download the correct condor repo for your CentOS version/arch (use rpm -q centos-release to find this out), and then install ( yum install condor-all ).
