[Buildbot-devel] newbie building on Solaris 10

[Robyn Landers]

I'm new here.

Trying to get a Buildbot slave going on Solaris 10.
(The buildbot master is on a Linux server.)
I've installed twisted and zope, and python 2.4 is already there.
Buildbot passes the simple test of buildbot --version.
When I try to start the buildbot slave, it fails.
Details below.

----------------

Start-up messages:

  Following twistd.log until startup finished..
  /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py:48: PotentialZombieWarning: spawnProcess called, but the SIGCHLD handler is not installed. This probably means you have not yet called reactor.run, or called reactor.run(installSignalHandler=0). You will probably never see this process finish, and it may become a zombie process.
    env=os.environ,
  ERR: 'tail: cannot open input
  '
  Removing stale pidfile /fsys1/u/builds/buildslave/twistd.pid
  
  The buildmaster took more than 10 seconds to start, so we were unable to
  confirm that it started correctly. Please 'tail twistd.log' and look for a
  line that says 'configuration update complete' to verify correct startup.
