I wanted to install lynx in my system ( Linux localhost.localdomain 2.0.37-osfmach3 (GENERIC #7) ENLEVEL #50 Wed Mar 3 22:00:33 CST 1999 ppc unknown ) using command rpm --rebuild lynx-2.8-1.src.rpm The command failed, for the following reason: could not guess the host type. I examined the file config.guess and I suggest the following patch: (rcsdiff /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lynx2-8-1/config.guess) =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lynx2-8-1/RCS/config.guess,v retrieving revision 2.8 diff -r2.8 /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/lynx2-8-1/config.guess 517c517 < elf32ppc) echo "powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" ; exit -1 ;; --- > elf32ppc*) echo "powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" ; exit -1 ;; I had to add this asterisk because the default emulation of my link designer is elf32ppclinux. Besides, my compiler gcc version 2.95.2 19990906 (prerelease) caused the system to bust when compiling the file src/LYMainLoop.c because it consumed all available memory (60MB). I had to disable optimization for that file. I have a question: now that I installed Lynx, how can I correct and install the package to rpm? Because lynx is installed but rpm does not know about it. I cannot perform the installation using rpm because my correction would be replaced. My connection to Internet is dialup, so please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Christopher Conrade Zseleghovski).
