installing sdk 3 on ps3 - FC8   

i have successfully installed fedora core 8 on my ps3, but when trying to install the sdk - i get this error -
file://tmp/sdk/CellSDK-Open-Fedora/cbea/repodata/repomd.xml - no such file or directory

i have the iso's for the sdk and the extras in my /tmp/cellsdkiso directory

there is no gcc compiler on my computer because when i typed some example code and saved as .c file it would not compile.

i have been working on this for about 2 weeks and am really running out of ways to do this.

please help! i am a complete newb.

ok, when i type -
cd /opt/cell
./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install

i get - (please note: i don't have anything in the cd rom, should i? )

root@ps3 ~# cd /opt/cell
root@ps3 cell# ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install

please help!!! this has become one of my goals in life at this point :0)

yes, i can get internet from firefox in fc8.

yes, i see the iso's mounted after i run cellsdk mount

what is the syntax to mount after my install command?

i appreciate any help you can give, i am studying this stuff i promise, just a little behind that's all, thanks

The reference to CellSDK-Open-Fedora is because the installed is searching for Open source packages, and by default it checks for a local mount point, and then should fail over to downloading from bsc.es.

Based on the errors, you do not have blas or numactl, so you might want to install the base versions of those with:

yum -y install blas numactl

With the ISOs mounted, try these install commands:

yum -y install cell-examples-source.noarch

yum -y install cell-libs.ppc

and see if either one works. The first should download from bsc.es and the second should install from the mounted ISOs.

i ran
yum -y install cell-examples-source.noarch

yum -y install cell-libs.ppc

and it looks like they installed but...

to see if my compiler is now working...

root@ps3 ~# which spu-gcc
/usr/bin/which: no spu-gcc in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)
root@ps3 ~#

so i guess i don't have a compiler still?

I'm not sure why cellsdk is not installing these packages from your mounted ISOs. It could be an issue with F8, since we didn't test on it, but I'd still think it would work. You might have to do some manual installation.

The following will show you all of the packages you need to get installed:

/opt/cell/cellsdk verify | egrep "default|mandatory" | grep "not installed"

I'd then suggesting running yum install on each package. Worst case you can also install them from the mounted ISOs with rpm -i .

I'm running YDL 6 on a PS3 and have been having similar problems. I've been using the FC7 rpm version of the SDK.

I have got it to work now, by running

YUM install blas

and

YUM install numactl

They said they worked ok but the blas examples with the SDK would not compile (don't forget to enter the touch *.c command to force a compile rather than use the object files supplied), but some searching showed that RPMs had been generated in /tmp/cellsdk/openSRC

I installed all these and it works fine. All the blas examples in the SDK, compile and run perfectly.

For help on where to find the code examples see (you will need to untar them first to run)

Hope this helps, John
