After struggling with a lot of errors I finally got it working by following the below steps. Can anyone suggest is there anything wrong in my steps? Can I use the same steps to configure other clients also? </blockquote> </div> You'd be better off using the attached patch. This will let you do a build from the top-level and avoid all the version problems. Plus it can build rpms for you. % make IPA_VERSION_IS_GIT_SNAPSHOT=no local-dist The rpms will be in dist/rpms rob <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d"> 1. Download and un-compress freeipa source, <a href="http://freeipa.org/downloads/src/freeipa-1.2.1.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://freeipa.org/downloads/src/freeipa-1.2.1.tar.gz</a> # tar -zxvf freeipa-1.2.1.tar.gz # cd freeipa-1.2.1/ipa-client 2. I have installed the following prerequisites after seeing the dependency errors. # yum install autoconf automake pkgconfig.x86_64 libtool.x86_64 mozldap-devel.x86_64 krb5-devel.x86_64 openldap-devel.x86_64 python-ldap.x86_64 3. System was complaining about there is no version.m4 file, so I did a copy paste of </div> # cp <a href="http://version.m4.in" target="_blank">version.m4.in</a> <<a href="http://version.m4.in" target="_blank">http://version.m4.in</a>> version.m4<div class="Ih2E3d"> 4. System was telling I should add the contents of /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 to aclocal.m4, so I did # cat /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 >> aclocal.m4 5. After this I have complied the source using the following commands. # ./autogen.sh # make # make install 6. When I started ipa-client-install, it was showing so many missing python module errors, so I have done the following steps to get rid of it. a. Downloaded python-krbV-1.0.13-5.el5.x86_64.rpm from (<a href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5Server/x86_64/python-krbV-1.0.13-5.el5.x86_64.rpm" target="_blank">http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5Server/x86_64/python-krbV-1.0.13-5.el5.x86_64.rpm</a>) and installed # rpm -ivh python-krbV-1.0.13-5.el5.x86_64.rpm b. Manually build the other python modules. # cd freeipa-1.2.1/ipa-python </div> # python <a href="http://setup.py.in" target="_blank">setup.py.in</a> <<a href="http://setup.py.in" target="_blank">http://setup.py.in</a>> build # python <a href="http://setup.py.in" target="_blank">setup.py.in</a> <<a href="http://setup.py.in" target="_blank">http://setup.py.in</a>> install<div class="Ih2E3d"> c. Copied the required python modules to the actual location # cp -a /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ipaclient /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/ d. Finally I got a version error, I have done a hard coding to fix it. </div> # cp <a href="http://version.py.in" target="_blank">version.py.in</a> <<a href="http://version.py.in" target="_blank">http://version.py.in</a>> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ipa/version.py<div class="Ih2E3d"> # cat /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ipa/version.py #VERSION="__VERSION__" VERSION="1.2.1" #NUM_VERSION=__NUM_VERSION__ NUM_VERSION="1.2.1" Thanks & Regards Viji </div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Freeipa-users@redhat.com" target="_blank">Freeipa-users@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users</a> </blockquote> </blockquote></div>
