I have been trying to compile an RPM manually using the SPEC file that is contained in the source tarball from Python.org's website. I have tried multiple versions and they all seem to fail. I have tried the latest 3.4.0 release, 3.3.5 release, and 3.2.5 release. It appears the SPEC file contained in the Misc/RPM directory is broken.
I am seeing the error: + '[' '!' -z 2.6 ']' + cd /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python2.6-3.3.5-1pydotorg.x86_64/usr/bin + mv pydoc pydoc.old mv: cannot stat `pydoc': No such file or directory RPM build errors: error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.yqWO6C (%install) line 71: buildprereq is deprecated: BuildPrereq: expat-devel line 72: buildprereq is deprecated: BuildPrereq: db4-devel line 73: buildprereq is deprecated: BuildPrereq: gdbm-devel line 74: buildprereq is deprecated: BuildPrereq: sqlite-devel line 91: prereq is deprecated: Prereq: python2.6 = %{PACKAGE_VERSION} line 122: prereq is deprecated: Prereq: python2.6 = %{PACKAGE_VERSION}-1pydotorg Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.yqWO6C (%install) It seems to give me this error regardless of what version of Python I am trying. Is there a good website that contains maybe a more correct version of the SPEC file for CentOS 6.x? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Devin Acosta
