Hi!

I’m encountering the following error when trying to compile the native 9.11 native on a machine running Oracle Linux 8.8:

[root@server SALOME-9.11.0-native-CO8-SRC]# sat/sat -t compile SALOME-9.11.0-native

The prepare step also presented the error, even after patching sources of the application:

Here SAT uses rpm to figure out if system packages are installed or not. If it is available on this distro (unknown to me), you can install it and check, otherwise, you can simply use the universal binary (built on centos 7)

Dear Nabil,

Thank you for your response!

The Oracle Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and also include the rpm command. However, unfortunately, the SAT error still persists.

Thanks!

Hello!

I was able to work around the issue by setting the following distribution:
"oracle": "CO"

In the distrib.pyconf file.

Thank you!
Nícolas
