Joseph: I happen to be using strictly CentOS 6.2 x64 - as this is supported by Dell and their openmanage packages. There are several libraries that you will need to download and compile on top of what is already in the CentOS Repos. Here's the list of what I had to build: * gperftools-2.0.tar.gz - http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/downloads/list * cryptopp561.zip - http://www.cryptopp.com/ * libunwind-0.99.tar.gz - http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/libunwind/ And, of course I'm using Ceph, Argonaut revision (ceph-0.48argonaut.tar.gz) Any other packages came with the CentOS repos, and were found either using yum provides or yum search. I don't recall in which order to build these, but make sure that they install in your desired prefix (using ./configure PREFIX=/usr for example) I forgot to build ceph using the prefix command and libraries have been an issue, since everything is in /usr/local/... My Mistake. It looks as though the dev's use PREFIX=/usr for all of their builds. I hope this helps.

Hi folks I was struggling and failing to get Ceph properly built/installed for CentOS 6 (and 5) last week. Is this simply not a recommended platform? Please advise.
