All,

A few more bugs have been brought to our attention. They all relate to
the installer, and are pretty minor and easy to get around.


1)
PROBLEM:
In KDE, double-clicking on the CDROM icon doesn't mount the CD.

CAUSE:
This is really a conflict between GNOME and KDE. GNOME, in YDL 4.1,
added a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) which auto-mounts devices such
as CDs, cameras, etc.  The mountpoint for a CD under HAL
is /media/cdrecorder,  but KDE is unaware of this and still looks
for /mnt/cdrom

SOLUTION:
a) Create /mnt/cdrom, and add an /etc/fstab entry for it
b) Fix KDE's reference to /mnt/cdrom.  Right click on the CDROM icon, go
to properties, and then the Device tab. In the pull-down,
select /media/cdrecorder.

2)
PROBLEM:
double-clicking setup.sh does nothing.

CAUSE:
The Y-HPC installer checks for required packages before running.  If
they are missing, it prints a message to the console and exits.
However, if you double-click the icon from a KDE or GNOME file browser
window, there is no console to display a message to and the installer
simply exists.

SOLUTION:
open a terminal (konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm, ...), cd to where the
CD is mounted, and run setup.sh from there:
# cd /media/cdrecorder
# ./setup.sh
And then follow the instructions for installing the required packages.

3)
PROBLEM:
Following the directions given by setup.sh to install required packages,
libf2c conflicts with compat-libf2c.


CAUSE:
compat-libf2c conflicts with libf2c.

SOLUTION:
remove compat-libf2c and re-run the yum commands.
rpm -e compat-libf2c
...
