    Missing dependencies in rubygem-boxgrinder-build

    martinborgman

      I just installed a fresh copy of Fedora 14. I chose the minimal install because I only wanted to use this machine to develop VM's.

      The first problem I had with this setup is that eth0 doesn't start. The fix for this issue is here http://microwallet.net/how2-no-dhcp-address-minimal-installation-fedora-14/

      Installing rubygem-boxgrinder-build woks fine, but the command boxgrinder-build --help fails because the activesupport gem is not installed.

      After installing activesupport boxgrinder-build --help still fails because the i18n gem is not installed.

      After installing the i18n gem I can successfully build a VM however the command at the bottom of this page http://boxgrinder.org/tutorials/boxgrinder-build-quick-start/build-your-first-appliance/ are not correct.

      The command should simply be

      boxgrinder-build f14-basic.appl

          Hi Martin,

           

          Sorry for late response, was traveling last few days.

           

          This is a known issue. AWS rpm package has wrong dependencies, the maintainer was contacted and I'm waiting for a fix.

           

          In the meantime you can run:

           

          yum intall rubygem-activesupport
          

           

          to fix all your issues.

           

          I'll update the tutorial page to reflect the proper command line invocation, thank you!

           

          P.S. You can always use meta-appliance which is designed to deliver the build environment for you. See this tutorial on usage information.
