Description Kevin Baker 2011-08-17 01:54:49 UTC

Description of problem:

installed the rxtx package on my RHEL 6 server x86_64 box and had some fun working out why it couldn't connect to my serial device on /dev/ttyUSB0.

First issue was that it could lock...it was looking for /var/lock/lockdev but on RHEL6 there was no /var/lock/lockdev. Created dir that and set up the permissions as per bz#581884. patch 4 rxtx-2.2-lock.patch looks to be F15 focused. 

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=rxtx.git;a=blob_plain;f=rxtx-2.2-lock.patch;hb=el6

Perhaps the spec file should be

%if 0%{?fedora} > 13 || 0%{?rhel} > 6
%patch4 -p1
%endif

rather than 0%{?rhel} > 5 as it is now?
