Category: Packages Group: 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Submitted By: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) Assigned to: Jeremy Enos (jenos) Summary: gm package doesn't build RPM properly Initial Comment: I'm afraid that the xterm downloading the gm tarball disappeared before I could snarf the output. But it looks like it downloaded successfully, and I have a valid packages/gm/src/gm-1.6.4_Linux_and_AIX.tar.gz tarball (i.e., I can tar ztf it without error). There appears to be 2 errors when trying to build the RPM: ----- Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel-source ########################################### [100%] Found kernel source from /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/build symlink... Matched current kernel 2.4.18-14. Using kernel source from: /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14 Using ../src/gm-1.6.4_Linux_and_AIX.tar.gz for gm source file... tar: Error in writing to standard output tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Detected OS is redhat Using kernel source /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14 Current kernel is 2.4.18-14 GM source file is ../src/gm-1.6.4_Linux_and_AIX.tar.gz GM source version is 1.6.4 GM kernel name will be k2.4.18r14 -ba: unknown option real 0m0.076s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.010s Press any key to exit ----- I don't know what the first error is complaining about (something with tar -- perhaps improper use of $PACKAGE_HOME such that it couldn't find the tarball...?). The second is the "-ba" error. This is a well-known problem that rpm changed the command used to build RPMs at some point (I forget which version offhand). I was attempting to build this on RH 8.0. You might want to use "rpmbuild -ba" instead of "rpm -ba", because (IIRC) this command works just about everywhere (RH 7.x, 8.0, 9.0, MDK, etc.). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109368&aid=772260&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
