  • Can't run phoronix on fedora VM

    Hi all

    I am a real novice both in linux and phoronix tool so go easy on me.

    I have install phoronix 1.8 on fedora 11 virtual machine through fedora,s rpm. The host of the vm machine is vasta.

    Though the installation is completed with all the dependancies, yet phoronix-test-suite cannot run.

    Please help, what might be the problem.


    Thanks

    What does not run about it? What happens when you try running phoronix-test-suite?

      It just does not lunch when I try to, nothing happens.

      I tried to check the properties through GUI it read phoronix-test-suite GUI.

      Problem is I donot know where to start diagnosing it if I have to.

        You need PHP5 GTK to use the GUI. So build that or just use the CLI.

            You need to build from source / follow instructions (search Google or these forums as its been documented many times): http://gtk.php.net/

                Hi Mic ,

                still no joy with the phps-cli installation.

                I am trying this command line getting errors please can you check if
                it's the right path if not any advise on this will be brilliant. Again please go easy this is my 2nd week with linux(fedora).

                I did this from my root.

                [root@localhost phoronix-test-suite]# yum install php5-common php5-cliLoaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
                Setting up Install Process
                No package php5-common available.
                No package php5-cli available.
                Nothing to do
                [root@localhost phoronix-test-suite]#

                got this idea from http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.debian.php

                thank a Million

                  When php5-cli is installed it should be as easy as:

                  tar -xvf phoronix-test-suite-package-whatever-its-named.tar.gz
                  cd phoronix-test-suite/
                  ./phoronix-test-suite benchmark encode-ogg (or whatever test you want)

                    problem is I don't think Php-cli is installed yet just as php5-qtk.

                    This is what I can't get around.

                    Please how will this work in fedora I believe it uses yum instead of cvs.

                    $cvs -d pserver:[email protected]:/repository login
                    $ cvs -d pserver:[email protected]:/repository co -r PHP_5_2 php-src
