Suse 10.2

Installing VNUML over Open Suse 10.2

Important note:

There is a problem with vnuml 1.7.3 in Suse related with vnumlize functionality. The parser hangs after printing: Checking for the skas3 patch in the host: - /proc/mm...not found - PTRACE_FAULTINFO...not found - PTRACE_LDT...not found UML running in SKAS0 mode To avoid the problem, just type "crtl-C" afert the above message or better use the "-Z" option to disable vnumlize functionallity: vnumlparser.pl -t simple.xml -v -u root -Z This problem does not happen with vnuml 1.8 version.

Installation steps:

1. Install "bridge-utilities" which is available from Yast2
2. Download uml-utilities from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/uml-utilities-20040406-35.i586.rpm and install them:

rpm -i uml-utilities-20040406-35.i586.rpm

3. Install the following perl modules from CPAN using this command:

 perl -MCPAN -e "install Net::Pcap; install Module::Build; install Net::IPv6Addr; force install NetAddr::IP"

Note: gcc should be installed for this step to work.

4. Download the latest version of VNUML from http://www.dit.upm.es/vnuml and:

 tar xfvz vnuml-1.7.0-rc1.tar.gz
 cd vnuml-1.7.0-rc1
 ./configure --with-build_modules
 make
 make install    (Note: answer "NO" if asked "Are you ready for manual configuration?")
