- python-pyinotify python-pycurl socat fping
+ python-pyparsing python-simplejson python-bitarray \
+ python-pyinotify python-pycurl python-ipaddr socat fping
+
+If bitarray is missing it can be installed from easy-install::
+
+ $ easy_install bitarray
+
+Or on newer distributions (eg. Debian Wheezy) the above becomes::

+ ndisc6 python python-openssl openssl \
+ python-pyparsing python-simplejson python-bitarray \
+ python-pyinotify python-pycurl python-ipaddr socat fping
Note that this does not install optional packages::
you can try installing them using ``easy_install`` command.
For example::
- $ apt-get install python-setuptools
+ $ apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev
$ cd / && sudo easy_install \
- affinity

+ bitarray \
+ ipaddr \
On Fedora to install all required packages except RBD, DRBD and Xen::
$ yum install openssh openssh-clients bridge-utils iproute ndisc6 \
pyOpenSSL pyparsing python-simplejson python-inotify \
- python-lxm socat fping
+ python-lxm socat fping python-bitarray python-ipaddr
For optional packages use the command::
Optionally, more functionality can be enabled if your build machine has
a few more Haskell libraries enabled: the ``ganeti-confd`` daemon
-(``--enable-confd``) and the monitoring agent
-(``--enable-monitoring``). The list of extra dependencies for these is:

bindings for the ``pcre`` library

- `vector <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector>`_

+In case you still use ghc-6.12, note that ``cabal`` would automatically try to

+cannot be compiled with ghc-6.12, so you have to install snap-server on its
+own, esplicitly forcing the installation of compatible versions::
+
+ $ cabal install MonadCatchIO-transformers==0.2.2.0 mtl==2.0.1.0 \
+ hashable==1.1.2.0 case-insensitive==0.3 parsec==3.0.1 \
+ network==2.3 snap-server==0.8.1

The most recent Fedora doesn't provide ``crypto``, ``inotify``. So these
need to be installed using ``cabal``, if desired. The other packages can
be installed via ``yum``::
