Description SL Baur 2001-09-04 08:35:22 UTC 
Description of Problem:
rpm-4.0.3-0.57 doesn't build cleanly on Solaris

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0.3-0.57

How Reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  /etc/rpm is hardcoded in configure.in.  The line:
SYSCONFIGDIR="`echo /etc/rpm`"
should be
SYSCONFIGDIR="`echo $sysconfdir/rpm`"
2.  The mechanism used for replacing missing symbols in db (eg. snprintf)
is broken
There are duplicated and conflicting #defines in db.h and clib_ext.h.
3.  stpcpy and stpncpy in popthelp.c are used unguarded.
4.  configure doesn't use the --prefix when searching for zlib.h and
bzlib.h,
  hence, HAVE_ZLIB_H and HAVE_BZLIB_H don't get set right.
5.  fsm.c uses a variable named st_mtime that collides with a #define in
  /usr/include/sys/stat.h.
6.  The use of /usr/local for searching is hard-coded in configure.  I
agree
  that you should  be searching there if the --prefix is /usr/local, but if
  it isn't, it isn't very nice.  It's a fact of life that often times
/usr/local is
  a nightmare of old and broken software that for political reasons must
  remain that way (as is the case here, sigh).
Actual Results:
I hacked around the problems above and got a working installation.
$ uname -a
SunOS ws22a903 5.5.1 Generic_103640-27 sun4u sparc
$ rpm --version 
RPM version 4.0.3

Expected Results:

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2001-09-04 14:09:55 UTC 
Please try latest CVS:
	cvs -d :pserver:anonymous.org:/cvs/devel login
	(no password, just carriage return)
	cvs -d :pserver:anonymous.org:/cvs/devel get rpm
	cd rpm
	cvs up -r rpm-4_0
as I believe most of the problems are already fixed.
If not, reopen this bug with a patch ...
