Hello,

I wanted to try OpenNebula recently in Debian Lenny, and had lots of
problems trying to build it from source. I tried r98 and the 1.0 release
and had to do some additional steps to get it to build:

a) Install the following Debian packages: ruby libsqlite3-0 sqlite3
libsqlite3-dev libsqlite3-ruby libxmlrpc-c3-dev libxmlrpc-c3 scons
libwww-dev zlib1g-dev libexpat1-dev libcurl-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Both libwww0 and libwww-dev were not in Lenny ATM I tried, so I had to
install them from Sid. One of the -dev dependencies became clear when I
removed the redirection from /dev/null in the compile function at
get_xmlrpc_config.

b) I added /usr/include to the include path in SConstruct.

c) I added some include statements into some of the source code files,
for example:

 * include/Attribute.h
 * src/nebula/Log.cc
 * src/rm/RequestManager.cc
 * src/pool/PoolSQL.cc

Among them where vector, string.h and algorithm. My C++ proficiency is
zero, so this might well be my bad -- yet it worked. I was sloppy at
trying to look at the exact source of the problems, but I hope this helps.

OTOH, I'm working on a Debian package (for Sid and Lenny) for OpenNebula
1.0.

Thanks for your time and great work,
Jose
