Description of problem: I´ve been trying to prepare the kernel from Source RPM (version 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL) and received this error: plase see http://pastebin.ca/114284. Then I installed the group "Development Tools", but it didn´t solve. Note that I was using "exclude=*.i386 *.i686 *.i586 *.athlon" in yum.conf. Then I removed those excludes and tried to prepare again, same error. Then I did "yum install glibc-devel" (it has chosen an i386 version and installed it). Then the rpmbuild command ran correctly. I think glibc-devel could be inside the spec file as a requirement. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL How reproducible: I assume always. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a new minimum server on a x86_64 2.download and install the kernel source RPM version 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL 3.run 'rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec' using a non-root user Actual results: Please see http://pastebin.ca/114284 Expected results: Compile without errors. Additional info: I think glibc-devel could be inside the spec file as a requirement.
hmmm it seems like gcc needs glibc-devel to be installed. So it seems that this dependency should be there. Are you sure you didn't get an error when installing the kernel source?
