Hi all
I'n trying to get amanda working on x86_64 SL51
- problem one, an old bug in the amanda rpm causing a segfault
on a double-freed pointer, fixed by obtaining
amanda-*-2.5.0p2-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
and manually installing,
- problem two, we get backups OK on ext3 filesystems but
failures on XFS filesystems, google suggests that if amanda
is compiled on a system without xfsdump installed then the
amanda will be built without xfs support. I think that this has
happened
- question : can I find out if it has XFS support? I can't see a way
- problem three, OK, I'll rebuild it myself, grab the source rpm,
rpm -i it into /usr/src, cd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb amanda.spec
result : configure.in:2588: /usr/bin/m4: builtin `mkstemp' requested by
frozen file is not supported,
google says due to m4 being too old.
m4 --versionGNU M4
1.4.5
this seems to be the newest SL5 m4 available.
Any ideas?
What baffles me is that, if the newest m4 in SL is unable to build the
amanda package, then how come the SL amanda rpms exist! where they
compiled on another RH variant in some bizzare "cross distro compilation"
exercise?!
Any pointers would be gratefully received
Cheers
Jim
Hi Jim,
I can answer the m4 question.
RHEL5 was compiled with a different m4 than is in the distribution.
As a result, SL5 has been recompiled with a different m4 than is in the
distribution.
Here is the version of m4 that we use to compile.
