Thanks for the guidance, Ben, David, and Wolfgang. The root ELDK 4.1 build problem seems to be that Fedora has further updated their core 4 SRPMs without saving the old SRPMs on their ftp site. Plus I need to use an FC5 build PC instead of RHEL 4.
For example, if I turn on echo in ELDK_BUILD script, here is an example of one of the failures that led me to look elsewhere for SRPMS: + rm -f rpm-4.4.1-22.src.rpm + ncftpget -v ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/SRPMS/rpm-4.4.1 -22.src.rpm ncftpget: server said: Failed to open file. + ncftpget -v ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/r pm-4.4.1-22.src.rpm ncftpget: server said: Failed to open file. But if I MANUALLY try to get the current build 23, it works: cd /home/gkenaley/ELDK/V4.1/SRPMS ncftpget -v ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/r pm-4.4.1-23.src.rpm rpm-4.4.1-23.src.rpm: 10.97 MB 106.61 kB/s So I Googled around and finally found all of the missing FC4 SRPMS except for "util-linux-2.12p-9.12.src.rpm". The best sites that I could find to obtain the SRPMS were: http://download.stmc.edu.hk/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/ http://www.distro-cd.org/PatchCD/Fedora/Core4/SRPMS/ I had to change SRPMS.lst to use the closest available SRPM, "util-linux-2.12p-9.13.src.rpm" I also set up and updated an FC5 build machine, and it looks like the ELDK 4.1 build is going through okay. Next I will try updating to u-boot 1.1.6 on the MPC8349E MDS.
