similar to: OT - Automated rpm builds

According to http://www.rpm.org/api/4.4.2.2/specfile.html a Version: tag can contain a hyphen, as the tarball for the source I am compiling is named 2.3-pre4 etc. When I try to build it I get an error about the illegal char? Anyone know about the discrepancy between the docs and RHEL's rpmbuild? Without recreating a new tarball and bungling the name how does one gracefully handle this?

I just noticed that the mod_ssl package was missing on a 5.x machine that I thought was approximately like several other that have it - and don't remember doing anything different. Is there some yum group that would install httpd without including it? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

All: Attached is the output file from building R 2.10.0 on RedHat Linux. I have never previously experienced any problems when building R from source with new releases. But, now I get a compile error with the Matrix package: CHOLMOD/Include/cholmod.h:87:22: error: UFconfig.h: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [CHMfactor.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory

I followed the setup instructions from http://www.owlriver.com/tips/non-root/ (link from the Centos wiki). All this is done on another 'clean' system, so I have to read the terminal screen there and tell what went wrong here. I then followed my colleague's instructions to get the tar, untar, autogen, configure, and finally make rpm. Well it was that make rpm command that finally

I am looking for documentation on the CentOS 7 "compose" process, specifically, the tools and scripts that generate the LiveOS image contained on the DVDs, as well as whatever produces the final DVD iso image files (mkisofs + isohybrid + ???). I asked on the -devel list, and the suggestion was to use this list instead. As far as I can determine, Fedora does this via pungi, but I am

You're definitely missing bits of texlive. Lots of "missing file: mf" in your debug logs. I think you need to start with installing texlive-metafont. Alternately, there are pre-built R 3.6.2 packages for EL-7 here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1421894 I cannot push them as official updates to EPEL because of the catch-22 created by R's dependency on

I responded to a post in the Dell poweredge mailing list earlier today. My answer was off the top of my head, with a bit of experimentation. The content may be useful in the Cenyos context as well to admin's looking to strip the size of an install to the bare bones. Comment welcomed. Can anyone see any packages which I have missed? -- Russ Herrold ---------- Forwarded message

Hi All: My name is Peter J. Mignone and I have a little Linux experience. From what I have read about CentOS, it appears very interesting so I am trying it out. I get a header.info error when I tried yum which I have never used. How do you set up yum? Where do you point it, etc.? If my understanding is correct about the licensing, I should turn off anything pertaining to the Red Hat Network.

Hi list, I'm trying to create an asterisk 1.8 rpm with SRTP. I found mention of a libsrtp rpm, <http://qutecom.ipex.cz/RPMS/srtp-1.4.4-1.i386.rpm > in these instructions, <http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+SRTP> but it is unreachable (by me, anyway). The libSRTP source is here, <http://srtp.sourceforge.net/download.html>. Has this already been packaged for

Anybody made OpenSSH work on a SPARC machine yet? I managed to get OpenSSL to compile correctly, via a patch to fix the location of perl (on RPM based systems, it will almost always be in /usr/bin/perl, not in /usr/local/bin/perl), and a small patch to the spec file to allow for SPARC builds. That RPM is built and installed without any errors that I can detect. OpenSSH is failing during a key

Some threads just go on too long. Personally I think a troll has hijacked the main centos list again and is inducing food fight behaviours while that troll perfectly 'innocently' asserting that it is just respoding to all email. see: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4216011961522818645 for a discussion of the problem of 'capture' in FOSS projects. But if one loses

Hi all - I've got a regular problem that i've been fixing by hand for a long time but i'm hoping i can get some advice about the right way to solve it. I replace the default redhat/centos sendmail configuration files with my own set. I have always just done this by hand. One thing I do is completely whack submit.cf. when i update the system, RPM recreates this file. I've

Hi All, I am currently using R version 2.8.1 on linux cent os 4.4 (i386) and want to upgrade to version 2.9.1. It seems to me that version-2.9.1 is it not for my OS. Am I right? Regards Utkarsh [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I've updated: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/EOLC3 which, of course no longer applies to just one major release I am unfamiliar with the process of pushing through a rename of a page, but I see copies of change notices with Ralph doing it from time to tome.

hello, I have a problem about pxe booting. I have two isolated machines, one(server) has got dhcp and tftp servers working correctly ( I am pretty confident with this). The other machine (client) using floopy to boot with pxe-request. The problem is, the client cannot get the bootfile("/tftpboot/pxelinux.0"), it always report no boot filename found. I also found the IP address, which
