After fighting with trying to rebuiled my src.rpm file. I decided to use a plain old fashion compile from the tar files. which worked ok, no settings changed. at about 11pm last night I finished and noticed a few things that made me a bit uneasy. 1) all the Samba bin files were installed in /usr/local/samba/.. 2) no smb.conf file was created. I used ./configure, make , make install when I

RPMS's rebuilt or upstream one's used Hi I got a cleanly reinstalled 4.2 workstation. However i still needed to build the following SRPMS from Mandriva/Fedora :- - Chkrootkit - Logcheck - Tripwire - Xboard & Gnuchess - Rkhunter I needed to use the upstream versions of :- - OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 - RealPlayer Gold - Acrobat Reader I needed to tweak Bind chroot to log queries and

I am attempting to build from a src.rpm (knowing very little about rpm at all) and the spec file notes that the architecture should be set on the command line: > # platform defines - set one below or define the build_xxx on the command line Now. My question is this, how does one do this using rpmbuild? The syntax rpmbuild --target centos4 package.src.rpm seemingly has no effect.

...a rhel kernel, apply the rhel config options" is not present either, I believe it was already stripped when the CentOS Plus kernel was initially built. I also used Patch400000:, since the latest patch in the CentOS Plus kernel is Patch99999:, so to be safe I included it later. 4. echo "%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild" > .rpmmacros in "I need the Kernel Source" This is a really small one, but the command above will expand $HOME when you actually run the "echo", I believe what you wanted was the command with single quotes, since that will expand the echo every t...

Hi A search of google failed to show any prebuilt rpms for sshfs and fuse. I do see that fuse support is in 2.6.14 kernel which isn't a whole lot of help. Before I dive headlong into this has anyone successfully built fuse/sshfs against Centos 4.4. If so would you share your experience? Thanks Daveh

...ering the following: --host=x86_64-centos-linux-gnu and --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu but neither have worked. This is my first go at building bacula, so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something: I just don't know what. Do I need to enter a macro in my .rpmmacros file? Currently: %_topdir %(echo "$HOME")/rpmbuild %_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp Is the spec file hosed? Something else entirely? Any help would be appreciated.

In my seeking a managable way to build libtiff, on the Asterfax forum I got the following recommendation (from another fax user that made the move to libtiff 3.8.2): ================================================================ Hi Robert, I have compiled libtiff-3.8.2 from the source package for my Fedora Core 4 machine. I am not sure about CentOS, but I think you can try to do the same

The following is a description of an rpm-based rsync build problem on my Redhat 7.1 system, and a patch that fixed the spec file. The problem occurred on several recent rsync releases, including 2.5.7: rpm -tb --define '_topdir /home/user/tmp/rpmbuild' rsync-2.5.7.tar.gz ALMOST works; it uses the spec file in lsb, not redhat/7.1. This spec file fails due to bad date format in one line, and not finding man pages since they are in gzipped format. The following patch addresses these problems: ========================...

Hi, Relating to my emails before (SAMBA & SOLIDWORS : cat & dog?) now I've been trying to update my samba-3.0.10 to samba-3.0.32 . I downloaded the source form samba.org and trying to create rpm package from one. I created ~/.rpmmacros file %_tmppath /home/fcmario/tmp %_topdir /home/fcmario/src/rpm %prefix /usr/local and ran % rpmbuild -ta ~/src/rpm/SOURCES/samba-3.0.32.tar.gz I got error messages that it cannot cd to lsb-samba-2.2.1.tar.gz. I go to ~/src/rpm/SPECS and edited lsb-samba.spec to become Summary: SAMBA Name: samba # the old phrase...

I use some computers that run older versions of Redhat Linux such as EL3. RPMs for the current version of R are no longer provided via CRAN for these older operating system versions. How can I compile my own RPM for the current version of R, which I could then use to install R quickly and easily on multiple machines? Perhaps the answer to this would be a useful addition to the manual R

...where to, /home/me/X/RPM/temp ? No. It will unpack to a directory specified by the rpm configuration. On my system (CentOS 6), the default is $HOME/rpmbuild. The configuration takes the form of an rpm macro, which is defined in /usr/lib/rpm/macros or /etc/rpm/macros. Look for _builddir and also _topdir in these files. (There may also be a user-specific location where you can configure this. I forget, as I'm generally OK with the defaults.) You should probably replace "setup -q" with just "setup", as the unpack command will then tell you more. > > how would I then...

RHEL 4 (and thus CentOS 4) do not have appletalk module included. CentOSPlus rather thoughtfully has the 'unsupported' version which would have the appletalk module but I have been unable to get the old megaraid driver to run compiled from the kernel-devel for these 'unsupported' kernels. Thus I would love to simply compile the appletalk module myself from the standard

I have been following the MaximumRPM guide from here: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/index.html and it seems a bit dated, but still very good (if fact the best all round documentation I have found so far) on using RPM package manager, and how to build rpm packages. The guide tells me to use the original paths, yet Centos wiki says otherwise. [rpmbuilder at karsites sox]$ rpm -iv

Hello everyone: I am currently install xen 3.4.2 on centOS 5.5 with linux kernel version 2.6.18.8. It works during the procedure make dist -j 4 and make install -j4, but when I make the initrd image of xen it shows the following error: Looking for deps of module pata_marvell No module pata_marvell found for kernel 2.6.18.8-xen, aborting. How can I fix it? Thanks.
