Hi, I'm trying to build RPM on my LFS system (v6.1, mostly). I need RPM to be able to install the OpenOffice.org RPMs, as it seems impossible to build them for x86_64 right now.
I've been following Jim Gifford's hint, but run into an error. I've built beecrypt and neon, just for kicks, even though I'm using rpm CVS. I got the CVS sources, applied the patches (by hand, I got errors using the ones online). I ran the autogen script, and the tried to configure. Then I get this (and yes, I get the same error with a plain './configure'): ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-posixmutexes --without-selinux --without-python --without-javaglue --enable-tcl --with-tcl=/usr/lib64 checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu <snipped> configure: configuring in db3 configure: running /bin/sh './configure' --prefix=/usr '--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--enable-posixmutexes' '--without-selinux' '--without-python' '--without-javaglue' '--enable-tcl' '--with-tcl=/usr/lib64' 'build_alias=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=. checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu <snipped> checking for shmget... yes checking "rpcgen -C" build of db_server.h... no checking "rpcgen" build of db_server.h... no configure: error: Unable to build RPC support: rpcgen failed. mv: cannot stat `Makefile': No such file or directory cat: Makefile.orig: No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `db.h': No such file or directory cat: db.h.orig: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `listobjs'. Stop. configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for db3 And then it's dead. For the record, [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2]# find / -name db.h /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2/db/build_vxworks/db.h /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2/db/build_win32/db.h /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2/db/build_win64/db.h /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2/db3/db.h /usr/include/db.h /opt/kde-3.4.2/kdevbdb/include/db.h And, [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2]# find / -name rpcgen /usr/tools/bin/rpcgen /usr/bin/rpcgen And if you really must know, [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2]# find / -name db_server.h /usr/build/rpm-4.4.2/db3/db_server.h So, this is beyond me. Seems like this package is not really well-maintained, at least not for the casual builder. What should I do?
