Oh, I'll also add that the user-space RPMS are kernel agnostic. You shouldn't
need to rebuild them, especailly not just because the don't "match up with
[your] kernel".
I'll also note that the 1.4.1 RPMS should be available really really soon,
and I've built those against all the updated kernels to-date. Or at least
all of them that I've found.

Quoting Drew Leske <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi all,
Apologies if this has been "asked and answered". I looked at both the info
and devel lists and didn't see anyone with my problem, nor do I see it
covered in the docs.
We have a cluster based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. I need to build the
RPMs from the source RPM so as to match up with our kernel--the prebuilt
RPMs typically don't match what we have at the time of install--and building
from source (tarball) isn't an option due to the many machines to which AFS
needs to be deployed.
Last time I did this, it was version 1.2.13 and the procedure was basically:
# rpm -ivh openafs-1.2.13.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat
# rpmbuild -ba SPECS/openafs-1.2.13.spec
# cd RPMS/i386
# rpm -ivh openafs-{,client,compat,devel,kernel}.*.rpm
It looks like the usage of the spec has changed a bit, and now I'm somewhat
lost. The 'rpmbuild' invocation above failed with:
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at
/usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/General.pm line 498, <GEN0> line 259.
I learned in another thread that to build the kernel modules successfully
for the i686 CPU I need to do the following:
# cd /usr/src/redhat
# rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 SPECS/openafs.spec
This successfully creates the kernel module RPMs:
# find RPMS -type f
RPMS/i686/openafs-kernel-1.4.0-2.4.21_32.EL_1.i686.rpm
RPMS/i686/openafs-kernel-smp-1.4.0-2.4.21_32.EL_1.i686.rpm
RPMS/i686/openafs-kernel-hugemem-1.4.0-2.4.21_32.EL_1.i686.rpm
But as you can see, this does not build the rest of the RPMs I expected, and
I can't find out how to do that. I've looked at the spec file and I've
tried defining "build_userspace" but I get the same error as above, even if
I specify the target.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Drew.
