  • 1.  OpenResty on RHEL 8.2

    Posted Tue July 14, 2020 11:47 AM
    Trying to follow the instructions at https://github.com/linux-on-ibm-z/docs/wiki/Building-OpenResty to build an OpenResy docker container on UBI8, so basically RHEL 8.2

    The first instruction is to
    yum install -y curl tar wget make gcc gcc-c++ unix2dos cpan perl postgresql-devel patch pcre-devel readline-devel openssl openssl-devel glibc-common

    but dos2unix and readline-devel don't seem to be available, and perl will not install because it is missing perl-Math-BigInt which is not installing from EPEL because:
    nothing provides perl(Math::BigInt::Lib) >= 1.999801 needed by perl-Math-BigInt-GMP-1.6004-5.el8.s390x

    any suggestion on how to proceed?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris!

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I've reached out to the team that maintains these instructions to see what guidance they can provide (I don't have a RHEL 8.2 on Z environment to poke around on myself at the moment, otherwise I'd give it a spin).

    At first glance, if this requires EPEL to be enabled for RHEL8, that should be spelled out in the documentation too.

    Hi Elizabeth:

    I did have some success last night -- it seems that the ubi-8-baseos repo on s390x has significantly fewer packages than on x86-64. had to go to the full RHEL 8.2 images to get all the packages i needed to get perl to successfully install. So my problems were tied to using ubi8 rather than a full RHEL 8.2 system.

    That makes sense, it definitely does require full RHEL rather than the container-focused subset.

    Did you end up needing the EPEL repository enabled when working directly with RHEL 8.2?

    I've got the EPEL repo installed, but doing a  "yum list installed | grep epel"  doesnt look like I pulled anything from there.
