Hi,

I just tried setting up a test instance of eFa 4 on CentOS Stream 8 and ran into the following errors:

Seems like there are some unresolved dependencies, possibly due to differing package names? I can install PHP 7.4 through dnf for example, but the package names are php-[module] instead of php74-[module].

The same behavior also appears when trying to use install eFa on Rocky 8.4.

Am I missing something?

Thanks
Tom

P.S.: I don't think this is related, but https://mirrors.efa-project.org/rpm/eFa4/eFa4.repo throws 500s sometimes instead of returning the repo.

Code: Select all

[root@mx ~]# curl -L https://mirrors.efa-project.org/rpm/eFa4/eFa4.repo

Taking a shot at this to see what is up...

Interesting, I was able to get a successful install on CentOS Stream 8 with a minor tweak to detect CentOS8 in the build.sh script.

I used the CentOS8 Stream Boot image with a minimal install.

Then I modified the build script to detect "release 8" instead of "release 8."

Oh! Thank you for explicitly mentioning that you did a minimal install - I had chosen the regular server install (no GUI) which turned out to be the problem.

Just reinstalled my VM using the minimal install option and now everything works fine.

Thanks!
