That is Fedora 19, or the rawhide version. I said Fedora 18, for good
reasons. Releases are more stable than rawhide.
That also looks like you're trying to build it on an SL 5 system. SL 6
uses a newer version of RPM, with new checksum algorithms compatible
with modern Fedora. Try building in on SL 6, or if you have to try on
SL 5, do this:
It also looks you're trying to build the RPM as a root user *STOP
DOING THAT*. It's a nasty, nasty, dangerous way to build RPM's because
even if you know the SRPM is valid, it only takes one bad mistake in
an installation script or a dependent Perl or Python macro to
overwrite your system files and cause..... chaos.
Try something like this, instead, if you need to try SL 5.
rpm --showrc | grep ^_topdir
# verify that _topdir is not /usr/src/redhat, it's typically
$HOME/rpmbuild
# Set up $HOME/.rpmmacros if needed to fix this
cd $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES
rpm2cpio [dirname]/lapack-3.4.1-2.fc18.src.rpm
mv lapack.spec ../SPECS
rpmbuild -ba ../SPECS/lapack.spec
For SL 6 this should work fine:
rpmbuild --rebuild lapack-3.4.1-2.fc18.src.rpm
That will report some build dependencies which you may need to
resolve, but it works fine on SL 6.
