Fedora :: Can't Build Rpm - Rpmbuild Fails
Mar 4, 2010
recently i have been building my own kernels, and have been successful. however, over the last 2 days, using the proper documentation and methods i always get to the same point that rpmbuild fails at. it's very frustrating to say the least...i am somewhat new to fedora, as i tend to use debian-based systems or freeBSD, where the approach and methodology is quite different to that of redhat. the command used:
rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --with firmware --without debuginfo --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
this builds the kernel with modules(needed by me) and this is where it fails:
[Code]...
if anyone has fix let me know, i can't update or upgrade rpmubuild without doing so to my whole system, so i hope this isn't a bug in rpmbuild.... i already had to upgrade yum & yum-utils because of a bug that wouldn't let "builddep" work. (come on fedora, this is a standard release, i shouldn't be having problems with yum or with rpm! this is apart of the OS's core isn't it? anyway, if someone who is in the know has a solution

I'm using rpmbuild 4.8.0 to build my rpm package on RHEL6. The spec file works just fine with any other Linux Releases, including RHEL5. But at the end, build failed with:
"shell-init error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory" I found that rpmbuild tried to compare the BUILD directory with the root filesystem, it will delete the BUILD directory if it's not '/'. My working directory is /tmp/test, so something like this in the /var/tmp/rpm-tmp file:
Code:
cd "/tmp/test/BUILD"
[ "RPM_BUILD_ROOT" != "/" ] && rm -rf "${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}"
I think this is the reason why the command failed. And I can't find the two lines of similar code in an earlier version of rpmbuild on RHEL5.

as I'm advancing in building some nice rpm I finally wanted to install on of my gems also the build was successful the actual install fails with missing dependencies.
Code:
$ rpm --root /home/sascha/rpmbuild/ -i ./RPMS/x86_64/memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6()(64bit) is needed by memcached-1.4.1-2.x86_64

I have an init script running as a special build user which performs an automated build that fails with (Too many open files).I updated /etc/security/limits to allow the special user more open files, but that didn't work - the init script still isn't allowed more open files.Here's a demonstration of the problem;

I'm trying to move an existing webserver from an old machine to a machine with Fedora 12 installed on it. ThSince the version available in the repository is version 2.X I downloaded the source from apache.org and tried to compile it. I ran configure using the default options and it an without any warnings or errors. However when I run make it fails with the following error:
gcc -c -I../os/unix -I../include -DLINUX=22 -DHAVE_SET_DUMPABLE -DUSE_HSREGEX -DNO_DL_NEEDED `../apaci` htpasswd.c
htpasswd.c:101: error: conflicting types for getline
/usr/include/stdio.h:653: note: previous declaration of getline was here
make[2]: *** [htpasswd.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/apache_1.3.41/src/support'
make[1]: *** [build-support] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/apache_1.3.41'
make: *** [build] Error 2
what the problem and more importantly the solution to this problem is?

Using the rpmbuild to compile the kernel, every time the patches will be applied to the source code. So even if no changes are made to the source code and no patches are added to kernel.spec, the whole kernel will still be recompiled, wasting a lot of time

I'm trying to build/install KDE 4.5.4, but I run into problems with the bindings package. Build fails with the following:
[Code]....
I'm building using the KDE slackbuild from sources dir, with the new KDE packages. edit: Well I decided to just take the risk of a not working KDE and commented out the bindings package. All other packages build fine. After this I crossed my fingers and rebooted, KDE loaded up. I gave the bindings package another go, and to my surprise it did build now. Got KDE up to date and it seems to be running fine.

I am using my athlon64 machine running Debian squeeze i386 to build some packages optimized for a K6-2 machine. I decided to start with libc6 since most packages depend on it.
I installed the build dependencies via
Code:
apt-get build-dep eglibc
Then, as an unprivileged user, I downloaded the debianized source via
Code:
apt-get source eglibc
I changed to the source directory and ran
Code:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -us
About 6 hours later, the build failed: [URL]
There were four config.log files:
Code:
./build-tree/i386-xen/config.log
./build-tree/i386-i686/config.log
./build-tree/i386-libc/config.log
./build-tree/i386-amd64/config.log
All of which end with exit status 0. They are also about 1600 lines each so I haven't read them entirely. If someone can tell me which one/ones is/are relevant, I will post it/them to a pastebin.

I had an issue with the module build for vbox 3.1.2 breaking on the latest kernel ( /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup ). Apparently the issue is that a kernel header (autoconf.h ) has changed its location in the module tree and hence the issue.
2 options:
1. upgrade to 3.1.4
2. create a symlink as follows
cd /usr/src/linux/include/linux
ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h autoconf.h

I'm trying to build the package zaptel on debian, but I'm encountering two errors:
1- When I try to run the "make menuselect" command, I get an error stating that I need ncurses which is missing. I tried to get it installed but didn't get to do it yet.
2- After that, there's the command "make" I think it's to build the package. Yet again this fails, and the error I get is "you do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.26-2-686 kernel installed".

I have RHEL 5.3.
I am trying to build a e1000 network card driver rpm with particular requirement to have cpio.gz inside rpm.
But after i build my rpm driver it has cpio.lzma inside. I simply build using command from the readme: rpmbuild -tb *.tar.gz.
I have googled and found that from around 5.0 RHEL includes lzma and uses it as a default setting. Is there any way to force to use cpio.gz or somehow repackage my rpm correctly?
I have searched through makefile and other files but was not able to find a clue.

I'm trying to create a set of rpm files to install the requirements for a program.I found a great utility named cpanspec that will create a spec file for perl modules and have started building rpm files. I was able to create an rpm file for Business::CreditCard as a regular user. Now I'm trying to build another module that requires B::CC, and rpmbuild -ba fails saying that I am missing B::CC. I don't want to install it just to create another rpm file.Is there a way to make rpmbuild "think" that B::CC is installed in the build environment without installing it on the system?

I'm in love with my Opensuse 11.2. Love my KDE 4.4. The only thing I miss from my Ubuntu installation, is the ability to use Boxee. I would be more than willing to compile Boxee from source. I only have 2 problems with that:
1) I don't know where I can find all the build-deps or what they are for that matter to build Boxee.
2) I'm running on a Netbook. Yes, my measly Intel Atom is no fun for compiling and building.
What are my options/what can I do to get Boxee up and running on 11.2? I've tried searching on build service for an RPM, but I think due to legal restrictions, Boxee can't be on there.

Trying to install SW 13.1 (on DVD) on the following system: M/B Intel: DX38BT Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 - 2.66GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775 Memory Corsair Dual Channel 8192MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (4x2048MB) Graphics Diamond Radeon HD 3850 Video Card - Viper, 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 P/S Ultra 1000W
My goal is to install the i386 build on one partition and the 64-bit build on another. I have been away from Linux for a while and am sick to death of Win7, want to come home. :-}
Booted on i386 side of DVD, system freezes after a couple of lines that start with ATA2. Does not respond to 3 finger salute, ctrl-c, nothing. Have to press reset. I have tried both huge.s and hugesmp.s kernels
Booted on 64-bit side, comes up fine. I performed the install, selected for automatic lilo install. Lilo install hung but I was able to reboot. I booted off the 64-bit side again, entered the following: huge.s root=/dev/sde3 rdinit= ro It booted fully to the login prompt but the keyboard does not work, no input.

I am trying to upgrade RH9 to F10. I have downloaded dvd iso image i386. The SHA1 integrity check passes. The installer fails media check due to "errors". I did an independent verification of the DVD and zero errors found. Download was from Fedora's own torrent, so files should be verified anyway. If I bypass the media check I get the message : Running anaconda 11.4.1.62 the Fedora system installer - please wait.....
