Imposible install on Suse Enterprise 12

[Nitrosito]

Hi, i Have:

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1, Linux 3.12.62-60.64.8-default

when i execute "curl -Ss 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/firehol/netdata-demo-site/master/install-required-package

Loading /etc/os-release ...
Unknown distribution ID: sles
Cannot find valid distribution in: sles 
Cannot find valid distribution with lsb-release

I NEED YOUR HELP
It seems I cannot detect your system automatically.
And it seems I cannot find a known package manager in this system.
Please open a github issue to help us support your system too.s.sh' >/tmp/kickstart.sh && bash /tmp/kickstart.sh netdata"

I install all dependencies manually, but when i execute netdata_instaler.sh

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables UUID_CFLAGS
and UUID_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Sorry! netdata failed to build...

You many need to check these:

1. The package uuid-dev (or libuuid-devel) has to be installed.

   If your system cannot find libuuid, although it is installed
   run me with the option:  --libs-are-really-here

2. The package zlib1g-dev (or zlib-devel) has to be installed.

   If your system cannot find zlib, although it is installed
   run me with the option:  --libs-are-really-here

3. You need basic build tools installed, like:

   gcc make autoconf automake pkg-config

   Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required.

If you still cannot get it to build, ask for help at github:

   https://github.com/firehol/netdata/issues

if i use --libs-are-really-here:

make[2]: Entering directory '/root/netdata/src'

In file included from apps_plugin.c:1:0:
common.h:66:23: fatal error: uuid/uuid.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
 #include <uuid/uuid.h>

BUT!
uuid.h exist! , they are in /usr/include/linux/uuid.h

¿How to resolve this?

A lot of thanks

Is it safe to assume that sles has the same packages as opensuse?

Which package manager do you use? zypper?

[Nitrosito]

No, I think that Suse Enterprise Server dont use same package as opensuse.
I use Zypper.

I link manually uuid.h to netdata/src/uuid/uuid.h , but fail to compile.

(Unkown size storage uuid , or similar error)

¿Netdata can be installed on Suse enterprise? or i dimiss?

Thanx and regards

[ktsaou]

libuuid-devel is needed to compile netdata. Unfortunately I don't know the exact package name for sles.

This library is pretty standard for all linux systems. It is developed by the linux kernel developers and should exist in all distributions. It might be called libuuid-devel, libuuid1-devel, util-linux, etc.

As I don't have access to SLES 12, I suggest to search a bit for it. You might be able to get a solution at the suse forums.

If you find a solution, please let us know, so that others can benefit too.

To solve this Issue:
In the first Step, add the SDK and SLE-SDK12-SP1-Updates Repos to your System.

# zypper info libuuid-devel
---------------------------------------
Repository: SLE-SDK12-SP1-Updates
Name: libuuid-devel
Version: 2.25-32.4
Architektur: x86_64
Hersteller:SUSE LLC <https://www.suse.com/>
Supportstufe: Unbekannt
Installiert: Ja
Status: aktuell
Installationsgröße: 16,6 KiB
Zusammenfassung:Development files for libuuid1
Beschreibung: 
  Files to develop applications using the library to generate universally
  unique IDs (UUIDs).`

You also have to add the SLES12-SP1-Updates to your System.

# zypper info  util-linux
Informationen zu package util-linux:
------------------------------------
Repository: SLES12-SP1-Updates
Name: util-linux
Version: 2.25-32.4
Architektur: x86_64

Keep in mind, if you make use of an evaluation Version you have 60 Days for testing, and you're able to activate the Online Repositories. If you're System is already registered and not already done activate the following Online Repositories in Yast and you should be golden.

SLE-Module-Legacy12-Pool
SLE-Module-Legacy12-Source-Pool

Kind regards

@BerndHelber thanks!

Can you give me the exact commands to add SDK and SLE-SDK12-SP1-Updates to a sles system? I would like to give them to users of our installer.

[BerndHelber]

Firstly register your System at Suse Customer Center.

https://scc.suse.com/

Or, if you have an SMT Server add the System to your SMT Server, or SuSE Manager System.
Suse will provide a registration code for your System.
Add the Registration Code to your System.
This Step has to be accomplished with Yast2.
If the System is registered and the Registration Code is valid, you will be able to to activate the necessary Repositories with Yast2.

Keep in mind that SuSE auto generates unique Repository URL's for your System.
All you need is a valid Evaluation Subscription.

Kind regards

[ktsaou]

thanks!

@ktsaou I will look up all the SUSE related commands for adding these repositories with Yast and add this to the documentation tonight.

[shadycuz]

SLES12 and instructions for repositories are confusing, I think I added the correct relevant information to the wiki, but it doesn't explain how to install the above repositories, just what is needed (Registered System or the DVD).

I'm going to go ahead and add a link from the installation wiki back to hear, but this can be closed now.

[ktsaou]

ok thanks!
