[AG-TECH] Ag2.0 Install on Debian Linux

[Julian Yu-Chung Chen]

Hi there,

I made a successful attempt to install AG2.0rc1 in Debian GNU/Linux in 
the last few weeks. So I'd like to share some of my experience here.

My test machine is using Debian GNU/Linux Woody.
I write up a script, inst.sh, to help me do things faster in several 
different machines. My working directory looks like this,

AG_inst/
    2.0/RPMS/
    req/
    inst.sh
   
I placed pre-require software in req/ directory, all of them are 
downloaded in
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/software/releases/2.0-rc1/redhat.html
Includes,

PyIPC-20030428-1.i386.rpm
pyGlobus-cvs-4.i386.rpm
globus-accessgrid-2.0-1.i386.rpm
pyOpenSSL-0.5.1-1.i386.rpm
gpt-1.0-2.i386.rpm
wxGTK-2.4.0-1.i386.rpm
logging-0.4.7-2.i386.rpm
wxPythonGTK-py2.2-2.4.0.7-1.i386.rpm

Notice that through some packages are also provided in Debian's APT, but 
due to version info and dependency problems(mostly python version number 
with related libraries), you have to use these packages from anl.

ps.
And in pyOpenSSL, anl added their own implementation methods. I'm not 
sure whether it's taken cared of in the latest version by Robert.
See this mailing thread,
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/web-mail-archive/lists/ag-tech/2003/05/msg00150.html

AG related packages are placed in 2.0/RPMS/ directory. Includes,

AccessGrid-2.0RC-1.i386.rpm
AccessGrid-AudioService-2.0RC-1.i386.rpm
AccessGrid-VenueClient-2.0RC-1.i386.rpm
AccessGrid-VenueServer-2.0RC-1.i386.rpm
AccessGrid-VideoConsumer-2.0RC-1.i386.rpm
AccessGrid-VideoProducer-2.0RC-1.i386.rpm
AccessGrid-rat-4.2.22-1.i386.rpm
AccessGrid-vic-2.8ucl1.1.3-1.i386.rpm

The script is basically translate .RPM files to .deb files and install 
them, and running several commands to setup Globus GSI correctly.
And with minor mods you can also install in sid.

my 2 cents.
