Hello all, I hope this is the right place for me to ask for help with building the RPMs from courier-0.53.3.tar.bz2 on CentOS 4.4. I'm relatively new to Linux so please forgive me if this problem is really simple to solve - in fact, I hope it is.
The problem I'm having is that, whenever I try to build the RPMs using the command 'rpmbuild -ta courier-0.53.3.tar.bz2', I get the following error: 'error: Failed build dependencies: /usr/include/fam.h is needed by courier-0.53.3-1.i386'. I have installed FAM on the system, but instead of creating a fam.h file in /usr/include/ it was created in /usr/local/include/ and the Courier rpmbuild process doesn't seem to like that. Thinking an update might solve the problem (I told you I'm a newbie) I ran yum update. When I did that FAM was removed and replaced by gamin 0.1.1 release 4.EL4 - which is described by 'yum info gamin' as a 'Library providing the FAM File Alteration Monitor API'. Is it OK to build and install the Courier RPMs without FAM on the system by using the --nodeps option in rpmbuild, or will doing that make the installation of Courier fail? If I need FAM on the system to use Courier can someone give me some indication as to how I can get this to install in the correct place (/usr/include/) or should gamin do the same job? Many thanks for your help. Take care, Tim. -- This outgoing e-mail is certified Virus free by a managed installation of AVG 7 anti-virus.
