 After that, he was able to use `yum install` to install the monitoring dependencies.
 
+=== Install all package dependencies by hand ===
+
+We believe that the full set of packages needed to get the five monitoring dependencies is:
+ * On an F8 node:
+{{{
+cairo
+dejavu-lgc-fonts
+fontconfig
+freetype
+libthai
+libX11
+libXau
+libXdmcp
+libXext
+libXft
+libXrender
+libpng
+libxcb
+libxml2
+pango
+perl-Compress-Zlib
+perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib
+perl-File-Find-Rule
+perl-HTML-Parser
+perl-HTML-Tagset
+perl-IO-Compress-Base
+perl-IO-Compress-Zlib
+perl-Number-Compare
+perl-Test-Mock-LWP
+perl-Text-Glob
+perl-URI
+perl-XML-Writer
+perl-libwww-perl
+rrdtool
+rrdtool-perl
+rrdtool-python
+xorg-x11-filesystem
+}}}
+
+You should be able to download these by hand on your myplc node, using e.g. `yumdownloader`, and install them on each plnode using `rpm -iv *.rpm`.  If the only dependency errors you see are minor perl versions, e.g.:
+{{{
+# rpm -iv *.rpm
+error: Failed dependencies:
+        perl = 4:5.10.0-96.fc12 is needed by perl-Compress-Zlib-0:2.008-96.fc12.i686
+        perl = 4:5.10.0-96.fc12 is needed by perl-IO-Compress-Base-0:2.015-96.fc12.i686
+        perl = 4:5.10.0-96.fc12 is needed by perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-0:2.015-96.fc12.i686
+}}}
+and if you have some similar `perl-5.10.0` subversion installed, you can try using `--nodeps` to ignore the discrepancy (or you could download the newer perl version).
