trouble on a remaster

[lindee]

I am trying to use a remastered microcore.gz image to PXE-boot the compute nodes for a Beowulf cluster.

The extensions I need for what I am trying to do are nfs-utils, openssh, and curl.

I followed the directions for remastering in the wiki section and extracted the microcore filesystem.

Extracted the following packages into the filesystem

• curl.tcel
• nfs-utils.tce
• openssh.tce
• openssl-0.9.8h.tcel
• portmap.tce
• tcp_wrappers.tcel

When the node boots from the modified image, it gives errors when trying to run anything related to ssh or curl saying "error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" or the same thing with libcurl.so.4. I have tried adding /usr/local/lib to both the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables in /etc/profile and remastering again to no success.

Also, when I try to mount an nfs share, it gives the following error:
   rpcbind: server localhost not responding, timed out
   RPC: failed to contact local rpcbind server (errno 5).

Does anyone have any experience with this or know of something I should have done differently?

After extracting library extensions you need to manually run ldconfig (it would be run if you used the appbrowser):

ldconfig -r /path/to/extracted/root

Last I saw, ldconfig is already run from tc-config, unless "nolocal" is specified.  Has this changed in 2.x?

[curaga]

Mik, that's only in effect if persistent local is used.

[robc]

is there a reason for using ldconfig only when there is a persistent local? why wouldn't/shouldn't it be used for every boot?

robc: usually the cache is prebuilt, so no updating is necessary unless there are new libraries present

although it seems to always run it in 2.0 if the edition is TC
