Hi, I won't say I am trying to build kpowersave for SL5, but I will say I am unable to understand the meaning of the error:
configure.in:61: /usr/bin/m4: builtin `mkstemp' requested by frozen file is not supported which leads to: configure.in:61: /usr/bin/m4: builtin `mkstemp' requested by frozen file is not supported autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1 make: *** [cvs] Error 1 Any ideas? Any suggestions? Thank you, R-C P.S. So far, my attempts to to build kpowersave for SL5 went OK, and here's the successful steps: (1) Need to build dbus-qt3 bindings: wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/dbus-qt-0.70-1.fc6.src.rpm rpm -ivh dbus-qt-0.70-1.fc6.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ rpmbuild -bb --rebuild ../SPECS/dbus-qt.spec rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/dbus-qt*rpm (2) Some 'rare' dependencies: yum install dbus-devel hal-devel libXScrnSaver libXScrnSaver-devel libXtst libXtst-devel (3) Try to configure kpowersave-0.7.2 (it should fail if other dependencies are not met): wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/SRPMS/kpowersave-0.7.2-1.fc7.src.rpm mkdir -p /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES rpm -ivh *rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES tar -jxf *bz2 cd kpowersave-0.7.2 ./configure (4) Now let's try it: rpmbuild -bb --rebuild /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kpowersave.spec ...which works OK until: *** Creating configure.in make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kpowersave-0.7.2' cd . && make -f admin/Makefile.common configure.in ; make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kpowersave-0.7.2' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kpowersave-0.7.2' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kpowersave-0.7.2' *** Creating aclocal.m4 /usr/share/aclocal/progsreiserfs.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of AC_CHECK_LIBREISERFS run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal configure.in:61: /usr/bin/m4: builtin `mkstemp' requested by frozen file is not supported autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1 make: *** [cvs] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.83302 (%prep) Be smarter than spam.
