Here I go having another conversation with myself... Hi self, how's it going? Not too bad. Spot of trouble with an RPM, but can't complain overall.

I started whacking at it with the Mandrake RPM Howto and chose the modify 2.44's spec file path. On the server, bad things happen because I can't even get sitelib: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ perl -V:sitelib Can't locate Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. ew... this is the result of too many upgrades, some CPAN installations, generally some ickiness that can get fixed at some other time. Tonight, let's try building RPMs on the laptop. Seems much better, we zip along nicely until: Finding Requires: /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires /home/jack/rpm/tmp/spamassassin-2.55-root i586 Using BuildRoot: /home/jack/rpm/tmp/spamassassin-2.55-root to search libs PreReq: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 Requires: perl-HTML-Parser perl-base >= 2:5.8.0 perl-base now that's kinda funny looking. So I poked around to figure out how that's gotten, and this is real funny: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ rpm -q --requires perl-HTML-Parser perl perl-HTML-Tagset >= 3.03 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 ld-linux.so.2 libc.so.6 perl-base >= 2:5.8.0 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) Am I being dense, or is this asking for a perl-base greater than or equal to version 2:5.8.0? As in the 2: is throwing a monkeywrench into the works? My perl-base is perl-base-5.8.0-19mdk. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture... http://www.monkeynoodle.org/resume.html
