buildinstall has errors in creating install CD's

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux; X11; en_US) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: I am trying to build customized install CD's for out systems. After generating headers and package list, when I run the buildinstall I get the following errors: NOTE: I do not have "runroot" and don't know where to get it from. 1. Execution of query commands (pango-querymodules, gtk-query-immodules-2.0, gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders) fail saying there is no such file. I think the files may not be there but also not all the runtime libraries are there. I did not find libz, libdl, libc, libm and running with chroot would fail. 2. Running fc-cache fails. Either it is not there or again libraries are missing. 3. /usr/bin/anaconda execution has the same problem above. 4. There are messages saying ldconfig is missing. I notice that most or all of these are the ones that can either be run with runroot or chroot. Perhaps they run ok with runroot. I would really like to be able to make my own CD's so I would appreciate any help. Thanks Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-runtime-10.0.3.16-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.setup an install tree 2.generate headers and package list 3.run buildinstall Additional info:
Using Anaconda released with FC4, and also current rawhide anaconda-10.2.1.5-2. The internal invocation of the "second pass" of buildinstall fails with bad arguments. The following patch allows the 2nd pass to run: 140c140 < $BUILDINSTALL $DEBUGSTR --buildinstdir $BUILDINSTDIR --second $PKGORDERSTR --comp $COMPNAME --version $VERSION --release "$RELEASESTR" --product "$PRODUCTSTR" --prodpath $PRODUCTPATH --discs "$DISCSTR" --bugurl "$BUGURL" $DIR --- > $BUILDINSTALL $DEBUGSTR --buildinstdir $BUILDINSTDIR --second --version $VERSION --release "$RELEASESTR" --product "$PRODUCTSTR" --prodpath $PRODUCTPATH --discs "$DISCSTR" --bugurl "$BUGURL" $DIR With this patch in place, upd-instroot reports that the command "latest" is not found. Additionally, paths are set to search in the new treedir for stuff that's in fact in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime (ie. the treedir prefixed to the proper path). For example: /tmp/treedir.21776/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/trimpcitable doesn't exist
How do you start buildinstall? I think if you don't specify the --comp option, you'll get an error like this. I use: buildinstall --comp gulerod --pkgorder /tmp/pkgorder.lst --version 4 --product "Fedora Core" --release "Fedora Core 4" --prodpath Fedora $BUILD "gulerod" is carrot, in Danish - any word will work...
I'm using this example, which lacks that option: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/gene_czarcinski/update_distro/
This is for FC3; does it work for you if you add "--comp anything" to buildinstall?
This should be fixed in current code.
