Hi, Thank you for your response.
My answers between the lines of your message: "Is it ARM9 specific? Does the busybox with same .config work on i386 or not?" --> No, this problem is not ARM9 specific. I am getting exactly the same error with BusyBox on 0x86 with or without the same config, actually any config (for example - make defconfig) with BusyBox 1.6.0 (also tried 1.0.0 rc 3 and 1.2.2.1). Moreover, standard (non-BusyBox) Linux RPM utility has no problems installing this .rpm when rpmbuild for 0x86 (tried RPM 4.4.2 on OpenSUSE 10.2) "Can you put the RPM you are trying to install somewhere on the net, and show *exact* command you use to install it and the resulting error message?" --> Correct me if I am wrong, but the only way you can install an rpm using BusyBox version is to issue: "rpm -i package.rpm". I placed simplified source and binary .rpms illustrating the problem at: http://www.4shared.com/dir/2891777/617a932/sharing.html > I am getting "Invalid gzip magic" error from busybox rpm utility on ARM9. "Don't describe errors, cut-n-paste from the screen instead. This way it's crearer what happens." --> Thank you for your advice, but this is it. This is the error,- "rpm: invalid gzip magic" (or "rpm: Invalig gzip magic" depending on the busybox version. There is nothing else. In addition, I am somewhat curious as to why there is no "-e" - erase option with BusyBox version of rpm? For example Octotux (www.octotux.com) distribution includes busybox 1.2.2.1 .rpm that they patched with erase option as well as others. Not having an erase option largely defeats the purpose of having rpm utility in the first place, IMHO. But that's another issue. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
