[Server-devel] [XSCE] Re: [IIAB] iiab on xo-4

[Tim Moody]

Here’s what I’m currently trying:  I think on xo-4 (fc18) the rpm installs 0.6.x and iiab wants >= 0.7.  This sets up some installs/unstalls that basically remove setuptools and put them back on my build dir /piptmp where nothing can find them.

I have put a shell: "wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | python" which installs setuptools 5.4.x ahead of the rest of the iiab install.  Just waiting to see if it solves the problem; the iterations are pretty slow when testing on xo-4.

Hi Tim,
I think I've seen this setuptools issue before using pip --update on Ubuntu - not Internet-in-a-box related, but some sort of nasty clash between pip installed packages and the native packages when I was working on another project.


As I recall, I found a Stack Overflow response involving downloading the setuptools or disttools tar file and manually running it to fix it.  I don't recall more specifics than that, but I remember it was not an elegant or satisfying solution.

  Thanks.  This got me past the /tmp space problem, but now I have a new problem.

  If for some reason,  such as mirrors unavailable, /bin/pip install -U -b /piptmp --use-mirrors Internet-in-a-Box fails and I rerun I get

  Found existing installation: MarkupSafe 0.18
    Uninstalling MarkupSafe:

  Running setup.py install for markupsafe
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    ImportError: No module named setuptools

  In /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ I have
  -rw-r--r--  2 root root    144 Nov  2  2007 setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg-info
  -rw-r--r--  2 root root     34 Nov  2  2007 setuptools.pth

  I can also get a variant of the problem 

  ImportError: No module named pkg_resources, which I believe is part of setuptools.

  I tried yum erase python-pip python-devel  gcc xz-devel  mod_wsgimod_xsendfile and then reinstalled, assuming that setuptools must be part of one of these packages, but that did not solve the problem.

  I tried yum install python-setuptools, but that did not solve the problem either.

  Any help is welcome.

  Hi Tim, 
  pip builds its packages in /tmp by default.  You can specify a different directory where you have enough disk space.

  See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10617198/pip-creates-build-directories

  pip install -b customized_build_directory to specify another directory asbuild base directory, for example /tmp

    We switched xsce to using pip instead of rpms to install iiab in order to get the latest version.  However, during the install process on an xo-4 I get IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device.  I notice that /tmp has 0 bytes available.  It’s contents are

    Any suggestions?  We didn’t get this error when using rpms.  Is there an easy way to build the rpms?

    I tried cloning https://github.com/braddockcg/internet-in-a-box.git

    and running internet-in-a-box/scripts/build_rpms.sh

    but I got

    iiab_id_rsa private key must be in current directory
