Incubator-superset: Can't find dependencies to install (libsasl2-devel & python-wheel)

[kaiosama]

Make sure these boxes are checked before submitting your issue - thank you!

• [X] I have checked the superset logs for python stacktraces and included it here as text if any
• [X] I have reproduced the issue with at least the latest released version of superset
• [X] I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven't found one similar

Superset version

0.15.4

Expected results

Trying to install dependencies on CentOS 6.6 according to the installation instruction:

sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel python-pip python-wheel openssl-devel libsasl2-devel openldap-devel

Actual results

yum cannot find packages: libsasl2-devel and python-wheel

Steps to reproduce

run the yum installation cmd

Note

I then installed cyrus-sasl-devel in place of what is supposed to be libsasl2-devel. I was then able to install and run Superset. However there is something wrong with the LDAP auth login under python 2.7 (but works under python 3.5), so I wonder if it is the right thing to do. Please advice and thanks in advance!

p.s.
I have these python sasl libs:
pure-sasl (0.3.0)
sasl (0.2.1)
thrift-sasl (0.2.1)

I'm running into this issue too. This is occurring on CentOS 6.8.

This isn't really an issue with superset.

You can try pointing your yum to a different repo set, but you're probably best off just building from source. Cyrus sasl meets the need for libsasl2-devel.

For python-wheel, you need to enable EPEL first.

Alternately, you can download the rpm and do a yum localinstall, or of course you can build from source.

Would love to get someone to update the docs with a solution though!

I installed cyrus-sasl-devel.x86_64 package on Fedora as libsasl2-devel is not available in repo.

I know this issue was posted and closed long ago, but for anybody still looking for a solution, I got over it installing python-devel and openldap-devel (from here).
