Having a real hard time installing graphite on centos 6.5.

This is the error we're seeing.

Error: Could not update: Execution of '/usr/bin/pip-python install -q twisted==11.1.0' returned 1: Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools;file='/tmp/pip-build-root/twisted/setup.py';exec(compile(open(file).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), file, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-e3n5qe-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-root/twisted

Using this in my node definition.

class { 'graphite':
require => [Yumrepo['rpmforge'], Yumrepo['epel']],
}

Also, this only happens on an initial puppet run. If I run puppet a second time everything installs without issue.

I just realized I posted this to the wrong repo.

[ereichert]

Actually, long day. This was the correct repo.

Ok, first: RPMforge is dead a few years. Why do you use it?
And second: YOu get an python error, so take a look into /root/.pip/pip.log . Thats what the error says. ;-)

I figured out the problem late last night. Not knowing anything about python and twisted I didn't know twisted required gcc. I had to install the Development Tools before I could install graphite.

[dwerder]

This is strange because the module should ensure that the gcc is installed. If this is not the case, its a bug.

[dwerder]

I have found and fixed the part where gcc could be installed after twisted. This also explains why it only failed on the first run

[ereichert]

Great. Glad that got solved.
