External dependencies install fails for REDHAWK3.0.0 on RHEL8

Question

Having set up the local YUM repository for REDHAWK v3.0.0 on RHEL8 per manual instructions, I find that there are no matches for python-omniORB, omniORBpy-libs. Indeed, they are not present in the redhawk-3.0.0-el7-x86_64 directory. I did install python3-omniORB through pip but am struggling with omniORBpy-libs.

I noticed that omniORBpy-libs-4.2.3-0.54929.el7.x86_64 is included in the REDHAWKv2.8 release. Will using that version cause problems?

Answer 1

The yum group installs pull in the dependencies they need.
So, you don't need to install the dependencies separately.
I had success on CentOS 7 with:

yum groupinstall "REDHAWK Runtime"
yum groupinstall "REDHAWK Development"

You mentioned that you might try to install python3-omniORB and omniORBpy-libs from sources outside of redhawk-yum-3.0.0-el7-x86_64.tar.gz.
Before you run the group installs, I recommend you first uninstall those.

It looks like the list of dependencies from the documentation all install except for the two you mentioned.
I suspect that python3-omniORB is just missing the 3 in the documentation.
I'm not sure about omniORBpy-libs.
