The glibc src rpm doesn't seem to want to rebuild properly under RH 6.2 beta. (I've also tried glibc-2.1.3-14.src.rpm from Rawhide, with the same results.) I'm installing the srpm and doing a rpm -bb, with no success. It all seems to compile fine, and then dies during the install stage, with: ../scripts/mkinstalldirs /var/tmp/glibc-2.1.3-root/usr/info mkdir /var/tmp/glibc-2.1.3-root/usr/info for file in libc.info*; do \ /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $file /var/tmp/glibc-2.1.3-root/usr/info/$file; \ done /usr/bin/install: libc.info*: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/glibc-2.1.3-root/usr/info/libc.info] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.1.3/manual' make[1]: *** [manual/subdir_install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.1.3' make: *** [install] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/glibc-2.1.3/build-i386-linux' Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.85277 (%install) I've not tried this under 6.1....
I get this same problem trying to build the glibc-2.1.2-11.src.rpm from RH 6.1. Is there some special requirement for building this RPM which I'm missing?
Do you have texinfo installed? Check carefully the output of the /.configure step
Ah, good call. No, I didn't have texinfo installed. Rebuilding now with it there. Thanks. PS -- might this be a good "BuildRequires" option for the spec file?
