It's got nothing to do with automake. Sounds like your rpmbuild setup is hosed.
Google for the instructions RedHat posted on how to setup the 'buildmeister' user id. That has instructions on how to be able to successfully create rpm packages w/o being root - there is a magic environment variable you MUST set to tell rpmbuild where the base directory is. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zhen Zhou Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 5:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] fail to compile as RPM package on fedora 5,cause spec always choose suse? Hi, all, I download ntop from CVS, and then enjoy installation. My platform is fedora 5. First I edit ntop.spec, and then package it as tar.gz, rpmbuild -tb ntop.tar.gz, then I got: error: Legacy syntax is unsupported: copyright error: line 15: Unknown tag: Copyright: GPL on this side, I could understand, something wrong on the SPEC file, so I checked, nothing related with this error, after several times checking, now it is clear that, when rpmbuild package, system always find ntop.spec from package/suse/suse.spec to replace what I edited ntop.spec in ntop.tar.gz. This drive me crazy... I am fighting with compile ntop as RPM package on fedora 5 whole day, but it is no luck for me. Maybe I am too stupid, but anyway I am not a specialist in automake something like that. So I couldn't find any tips. Any ideas will be welcomed, Zhou _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
