Hi,

Thanks for the links to EL8/EL9. 

Does this package support LDAP and SSL as well?

Hi,

The ELOG website provides new link to RPM packages :

Linux binaries are distributed as RPMs.

EL8/EL9 RPM are also available.

Is there an RPM available for Rocky 8 or Rocky 9?

And checking over https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/ , only el7 is found. Is that the right place to look for EL8 or EL9 based RPM?

Thanks,

Scott

Normally it should work. Requirements are set in SPEC file.

Almost all of them are installed by ELOG RPM or are already installed by default Redhat profiles.

Nina, do you use right RPM version (el7/8/9) according to Rockylinux one ? El7 rpm can not be installed on RL9...

Is there a way to install all dependencies automatically? Like if I install a package like "emacs" I get a list of dependencies with are automatically installed:

Is this ok [y/d/N]:

Hi Nina,

The RPM is built with Kerberos (libber*), LDAP (libldap*) and SSL (libssl*) options. These libs are missing on your system, and rpm command does not take care of dependencies.

 Try to install with yum : yum install elog-latest.el7.x86_64.rpm

Normally the missing rpm files should be dlded from RL repo if your host can access to them...

Hello all,

I am installing elog on an Rocky Linux instance. Have dependensy problem. 

rpm -Uvh elog-latest.el7.x86_64.rpm 

error: Failed dependencies:

    liblber-2.4.so.2()(64bit) is needed by elog-3.1.5-1.el7.x86_64

    libldap-2.4.so.2()(64bit) is needed by elog-3.1.5-1.el7.x86_64

    libssl.so.10()(64bit) is needed by elog-3.1.5-1.el7.x86_64

    libssl.so.10(libssl.so.10)(64bit) is needed by elog-3.1.5-1.el7.x86_64

Any clues from developers to resolve it and keep the software working. Thank you in advance!

Bests, Nina

Hi Stefano,

I also tried to set up LDAP authentication and password file-based authentication using the same settings as yours, which is not working as expected. It does work only with the LDAP authentication and not with the password file now. If I remove the LDAP-based parameters from the configuration file it works then password files start working.

I think multiple ways of authentication do not work concurrently.


Is that issue still existing for you or is it resolved?

Thanks,
Scott
