[Planetlab-devel] Re: problem #1 (with myplc 0.5-5)

[Stephen Soltesz]

Hello, Lee,

I'm sorry to give you the run around.  I think it would be more helpful if this 
question were explored on the Planetlab development mailing list.  You may join 
by following this link.

As well, would you be able to give me some additional information?  Such as 
where did you download this version of MyPLC?  If this is a recent development 
version it could have packages missing, as your message below indicates is a 
possibility.

Was this version recommended by Marc, or did you pick it?  If you picked it, 
what criteria did you use in choosing it?

If you are using a myplc-native rpm, and the pycurl rpm is missing, you may try 
installing the pycurl rpm and trying again:

     yum install -y python-pycurl

Thank you,
Stephen.
