Unable to install nrpe agent

[HIINNS]

I am trying to install the nrpe agent on a SLES 11 SP4 server. I need to perform an offline installation. Our UNIX admins have downloaded the RPMs locally, and have configured /etc/zypp/repos.d to point to the local installation of the rpm's. After running the fullinstall script I get that the libmcrypt-devel and libopenssl-devel rpms can't be found. I have looked for them online without any success. Can you help?

On a SLES 11 server, the names of the packages are as follows.

Code: Select all

libopenssl-devel
libmcrypt-devel

You should be able to find them on the SLE11-SDK-SP4-Updates or the SLE11-SDK-SP4-Pool repositories.

That is where I checked. Neither rpm is found in these directories.

Could you go to a SUSE SLES server that has access to the internet and download the package there so you can install it on the offline system?

[HIINNS]

Unfortunately, no. None of our servers have access to the internet. The following is a link to all SUSe rpm packages. Neither libmcrypt-devel or libopenssl-devel are found using this resource.

https://www.suse.com/LinuxPackages/pack ... =index_all

That URL looks like it is just for the standard install packages.
You will have to get the URL for the Updates and the Pool repositories for the packages from SUSE.

You can consider this case closed. My UNIX administration team was able to find the rpm's I needed.
