setup.py is failing due to RegEx issue #90

Closed samansad closed 4 years ago

samansad commented 4 years ago

I am running the setup.py with Python 2.7 on EC2 R4 RedHat 6 and getting the following error. There are 3 files that this RegEx is reading ('/etc/system-release', '/etc/redhat-release', '/etc/lsb-release'). However, non of these files contains "NAME=" which the regex is looking for. Do I need to add anything to any of these files? Am I missing any prerequisite?

I have installed Collectd version is 5.5.3.1.

Ok I found the issue. For RedHat 6 there is no os-release and redhat-release does not follow the format that this python code is expecting to see. To solve this, I manually made the os-release and added "NAME= "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"" to it.
