You need to have everything built with that version of RPM for dependencies to be resolved correctly. Try installing the new ia64 beta. We experienced this problem when we installed a new beta we received from intel. What 'new ia64 beta' specifically are you referring to? And how can I tell what exact release we have installed? P.S. Thanks for the speedy response, let me know if there is a better way to communicate, notice I posted in the forums also. The beta that was released to the public yesterday. ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/ia64/ (If whatever you have still uses ld-linux-ia64.so.1, it's pretty old.) You can judge the release by what /etc/redhat-release says; it should say: Red Hat Linux release 7.0 (Guinness) ia64-list is the general list for discussion of the ia64 release. Thanks for the replies. The version we have installed is 6.96.1 (without the '()(64bit)' in the find-requires script) and the version which introduced the problem was 6.96.2 (with the '()(64bit)' string). Unfortunately, we have step-A processors,;we read that the new 7.0 based beta is not recommended for them, so we're stuck until we upgrade our hardware. Meanwhile we have workedaround the problem. |
On Intel IA64 machines, you can successfully build RPMs but they fail on installation with the following errors: rpm -ivh metro-x-5.2.0-1.20001205.glibc.ia64.rpm error: failed dependencies: ld-linux-ia64.so.1()(64bit) is needed by [rpm-name] We tracked this down to the '/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires' and '/usr/lib/rpm/find-provides' mechanisms. The new 'find-requires' script that comes with <b>rpm-build-4.0.1-0.20</b> is placing this string in the dependancy list; but the <b>rpm executable</b> is not able to resolve this dependancy at install time.
