Description Need Real Name 2004-03-22 12:54:32 UTC

Description of problem:
checkinstall segfaults while building rpm's

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
run configure, make, checkinstall
  
Actual results:

It appears to segfault at creating files/directries within rpm
eg:
make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/include/epiphany-1.3/epiphany
../mkinstalldirs: line 66:  8567 Segmentation fault      mkdir -p -- .
2>/dev/null
mkdir /usr/include/epiphany-1.3
../mkinstalldirs: line 103:  8571 Segmentation fault      mkdir
"$pathcomp"
mkdir /usr/include/epiphany-1.3/epiphany
../mkinstalldirs: line 103:  8572 Segmentation fault      mkdir
"$pathcomp"
make[4]: *** [install-headerDATA] Error 139
make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/epiphany/lib'
make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/epiphany/lib'
make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/epiphany/lib'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/epiphany/lib'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
 
****  Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Expected results:
Rpm created

Additional info:

Only a problem with fC2 test1

This is a mkdir, not rpm, segfault.

Almost certainly specific to your machine as well.

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2004-03-23 10:36:53 UTC

Any ideas how to debug this?
Also standard make install works

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2004-04-19 11:36:55 UTC

Upgraded to test2, and problem still exists.

I have now upgraded three machines to test2 and all three have the
problem (with or without selinux).

Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2004-04-22 06:48:29 UTC

Sure. The problem needs to be simplified to a context smaller than an
epiphany build, and than whatever is failing needs to be fixed.

Apologies if that isn't helpful.

Use with this options:
checkinstall --fstrans=no --install=yes
