Hi, I appologize if this is not the right place to post this, but searching through the old archives, I ran across the same issue from 3 years ago, but I cannot find the resolution to it.
Currently, I am trying to build the python2.4 SRPM from Python.org on a CentOS4.6_x64 platform, but the build is failing with a very non-descript error message. .... + cd /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/bin + mv -f pydoc pydoc2.4 + cd /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/bin + mv -f idle idle2.4 + echo '#!/bin/bash' + echo 'exec /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/lib64/python2.4/idlelib/idle.py' + chmod 755 /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/bin/idle2.4 + cp -a Tools /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/lib64/python2.4 + rm -f mainpkg.files + find /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload -type f + sed 's|^/var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root|/|' + grep -v -e '_tkinter.so$' error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55639 (%install) RPM build errors: user jafo does not exist - using root group jafo does not exist - using root user jafo does not exist - using root group jafo does not exist - using root Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55639 (%install) The old post I found about this can be found here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2005-October/030670.html I checked the var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/lib64 directories and see plenty of files in there, but not sure what I should be looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Am not sure what to be looking for in order to get this to work. Thanks!
