Hello! I am sysadmin for a small IT consulting enterprise in México. We are trying to integrate three servers running RHEL 5.9 into a new CEPH cluster. I downloaded the source code and tried compiling it, though I got stuck with the requirements for leveldb and libblkid. The versions installed by the OS are behind the ones recommended so I am wondering if it is possible to compile updated ones from source, install them in another location (/usr/local/{} )and use those for CEPH. Upgrading the OS is (although not impossible) difficult since these are production servers which hold critical applications, and some of those are legacy ones :-( I tried googling around but had no luck as to how to accomplish this, ./configure --help doesn't show anyway and tried --system-root without success. I am following the instructions from: https://wiki.ceph.com/FAQs/What_Kind_of_OS_Does_Ceph_Require%3F http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/install/install-storage-cluster/#installing-a-build http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/install/#get-software http://wiki.ceph.com/FAQs The only data I've found so far although related doesn't really apply to my case: http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2014-July/041683.html http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ceph.user/3010/match=redhat+5.9 Any help/ideas/pointers would be great. -- Saludos David J.
