See http://rpm5.org/cvs/chngview?cn=16081 for patch, you can backport that to the rpm-5_3 branch. > Why is the compiler unable to reference the bswap32 definition in > sys/endian.h?

Maybe the dbconvert.c #define for bswap32 is colliding with it ? RPM5 should install on FreeBSD... That is: HEAD should be working, I don't think anyone has backported to 5.3.x or 5.4.x due to lack of interest... Most "users" are on 5.0 - 5.2, if there's indeed any usage on FreeBSD whatsoever (except for archiving). The BSD and Mac ports are currently using 5.2.1, that is the pre-ACID RPM: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/archivers/rpm5/ https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/sysutils/rpm52/ --anders ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
