missing dependencies for nova (run-tests.sh failed building the venv)

[Christian Berendt]

I think there are some missing dependencies, at least is not possible to run run-tests.sh without build errors at the moment. After installing the following packages I could successfully run run-tests.sh. I think we should add those packages to files/apts/nova.

libxslt-dev
libpq-dev
libmysqlclient-dev
zlib1g-dev
libssl-dev
libxml2-dev

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 running the run-test.sh. These packages (a few different from yours) fixed it for me:

libmysqlclient-dev
libpq-dev
python-dev
libldap2-dev
libsasl2-dev
libssl-dev

Christian's fix works for me.

https://review.openstack.org/38127 fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/1203680 for glance, a similar solution for nova should be done, or those files moved to 'general'

[Mike Spreitzer (mike-spreitzer)]

Nowadays I work around this with a single thing, `apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev` (in the Ubuntu case) before run_tests.sh.

In other words, the fix to https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/1203680 can be used for Nova too. In fact, that fix adds what I find is needed for Nova. All that is missing is to update the instructions for DevStack and unit testing to point this out.

Why was the status of this changed to Incomplete?

[Geronimo Orozco (gorozco)]

This works for me too, seems that comment #4 is already there in nova
