Summary: failure to build RPM on rhel 3
Initial Comment:
This is on RHEL 3 AS (Taroon update 5) on a dual
processor x86_64 machine
Attempting to build the RPM from Python.org fails with
a very non-descript error message:
+ mv -f idle idle2.4
+ echo '#!/usr/bin/env python2.4'
+ echo 'import os, sys'
+ echo 'os.execvp("/usr/bin/python2.4",
["/usr/bin/python2.4",
"/usr/lib/python2.4/idlelib/idle.py"] + sys.argv[1:])'
+ echo 'print "Failed to exec Idle"'
+ echo 'sys.exit(1)'
+ chmod 755 /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4.1-root/usr/bin/idle2.4
+ cp -a Tools
/var/tmp/python2.4-2.4.1-root/usr/lib64/python2.4
+ rm -f mainpkg.files
+ find
/var/tmp/python2.4-2.4.1-root/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload
-type f
+ sed 's|^/var/tmp/python2.4-2.4.1-root|/|'
+ grep -v -e '_tkinter.so$'
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97009
(%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97009 (%install)
So, thinking that it might be something related to
tkinter and idel, I tried not building those, but it
still fails to complete. It appears that the problem
is that nothing is getting put in /usr/lib64 and
everything is getting put in /usr/lib.
Attempts were made at hacking the spec file to pass
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --exec-prefix=/usr to configure and
still have the problem that it doesn't put anything in
/usr/lib64 even though the spec file, and common logic,
would expect there to be files in /usr/lib64.
I was able to compile Python 2.4 just fine on the
machine and install it, but still it did not have
anything in /usr/lib64/python2.4, which is where the
architecture specific files should be.
