I've made a bit of progress towards building the SI RPMs on an RHEL6.2 server, but I didn't make it to the goal yet: 1. I copied the downloaded sources from /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-4.3.0/initrd_source/src/ to the permanent place /usr/src/. Strangely, today the correct e2fsprogs can be downloaded successfully (it was absent yesterday). 2. The next missing download is a kernel source file http://download.systemimager.org/pub/linux/linux_2.6.34.1.orig.tar.gz. So I grabbed a similar file from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and renamed it with the .orig (probably a no-no!). The kernel.org version seems to build, but I had to answer a bunch of configure questions. 3. Next failure occurs when building parted-2.3: ... checking for dm_task_create in -ldevmapper... no configure: error: libdevmapper could not be found, but is required for the --enable-device-mapper option, which is enabled by default. Either disable device-mapper support with --disable-device-mapper or download and install device-mapper from: http://sources.redhat.com/dm/ FYI, our RHEL6.2 server does have the device-mapper 32- and 64-bit RPMs installed with /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02. Question: Am I on the right track, or is there a better way to build the SI RPMs?
