It doesn't work due to missing dependencies, like libssl-devel. I thought about having the minimum set of dependencies listed in the documentation and then do: $ ./boot $ ./configure $ make rpm which would prep the spec and run builddep and then run rpmbuild, but then we are back to maintain the list of packages in the doc and it is not that different from the steps in this patch and it requires root. And the other option is to provide a rhel/ script to do what this patch is explaining to do, but obviously it would require root too. fbl > > +DNF: > > +:: > > + $ dnf builddep /tmp/ovs.spec > > + > > +YUM: > > +:: > > + $ yum-builddep /tmp/ovs.spec > > + > > +Once that is completed, remove the file ``/tmp/ovs.spec``. > > > > Bootstraping > > ------------ > > diff --git a/Documentation/intro/install/rhel.rst > > b/Documentation/intro/install/rhel.rst > > index 0ef6f55a3..184089e89 100644 > > --- a/Documentation/intro/install/rhel.rst > > +++ b/Documentation/intro/install/rhel.rst > > @@ -70,17 +70,33 @@ directory is ``/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES``.

Right. Well, I'm okay with either approach: the tmp file as documented or a script. If you decide to change it, no problems.

In the case of RHEL 6.x and its derivatives, one option is +to install python34 and python34-six from `EPEL`_. + +.. _EPEL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL .. _rhel-bootstrapping:
