[ovs-dev] jsonrpc / python ?

[Tobias Guth - ECOS Technology]

Hi,
well i got a problem with openvswitch initializing the db for the first
time.
ovs is the latest (1.8.9x) from the git repo, build on a 32bit gentoo
machine. When doing ovs-vsctl -v init I get ->

Same thing when doing something like ovsdb-client -v list-dbs
->

ovsdb-client: transaction returned error: "\"list_dbs\" is not a valid
command\n"


I was thinking about problems with the jasonrpc calls and python ?
Well I tried the same thing building ovs on a fedora machine.

I do not know what the problem ist, and definetly have no clue :-(
Any suggestions ?

Tobi
