[rancid] Rancid configure error

[Mathiruban Rajagopal]

Dear Team,

I am configuring Rancid on HP DL380 server.
When I used rancid-cvs command to create the /usr/local/var/networking/
directory and its associated database and network device list files, I am
getting an error that cvs command not found.

*[***@rancid ~]$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs
*/usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-cvs: line 98: cvs: command not found

When I checked the log, it say " there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout'
first"

*[***@rancid logs]# more networking.20090820.090101
*starting: Thu Aug 20 09:01:01 IST 2009

cvs status: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs status: use `cvs add' to create an entry for 203.94.64.246
cvs add: in directory .:
cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
cvs added missing router 203.94.64.246


Trying to get all of the configs.
All routers sucessfully completed.
cvs diff: in directory .:
cvs [diff aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs checkout' first
cvs commit: in directory .:

Pls help me.

You are missing dependencies on your installation. CVS



You should try this website to get Rancid installed and the dependencies checked.

http://www.siliconhotrod.com/?q=node/2



From siliconhotrom.com no it isn’t my website, I am not intelligent enough to code.



Yum install perl‹bash‹expect‹gzip‹tar‹automake wget‹cvs

I would go step by step on the rancid installation guide, if something doesn’t work, go back over the guide. Don’t skim through it as you will have problems.

Be aware that this is only for Rancid and does not cover CVSWEB, SVN, or SSH.



Here is another guide to install Rancid manually.
