[LU-7841] Lutsre2.8 fails to build on SLES11 SP4 due to unavailability of rst2man/python-docutils

Related — Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:17:30 +0000

I am trying to build Lustre2.8 on sles11 Sp4 but it fails with dependency issues for rst2man/python-docutils.

I tried Suse repo but could not find any python-docutils for SLES11.

I then tried to install python-docutils-0.9.1-6.1.noarch.rpm which is what I used to resolve same issue on RHEL. However it resulted in failure with dependency on python(abi) = 2.6 and rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1. These 2 are again not found in SLES11 repro.

I also tried -~~disable-doc (./configure --disable-doc --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-3.0.101-68_lustre~~-with-o2ib=/usr/src/compat-rdma) but still the build fails with same reason.

I also went through Bug ~~LU-6987~~, ~~LU-6437~~, ~~LU-6853~~.
Anything else that you can suggest ?
