Hello Mike, Okay get ready for a real fat email. I think it will be of the most help to you if you send all the following info at once, seeing that we are in different time zones (I think).

If you find one, then show it to this mailing list. Rename it or move it away and try building again. Please copy the contents of your /openpkg/etc/openpkg/rpmmacros file to your email as well. Then please completely erase /openpkg/RPM/TMP/apache-1.3.29/, log in as root and do the following: # /openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.0/SRC/apache-1.3.29-2.0.0.src.rpm # find /openpkg/RPM/TMP/apache-1.3.29/ -exec ls -ld {} \; 2>/dev/null # id That means to manually delete the remnant build temporary files, try building apache again (with no options whatsoever), get a complete detailed listing of the temporary files the new apache build generated, and lastly see the actual privileges that the effective user has. Run the following commands to help me see if your OpenPKG Instanz is healthy: # /openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm -qi openpkg # /openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm -Va Show if your prefix directory is a link: # ls -ld /openpkg And tell us if you are mounting /openpkg onto its own slice or if it is simply a directory in your root slice. Also, are you mounting it over NFS? Lastly, please copy to the end of your email a copy of the following listing: # find /openpkg/RPM/TMP/ -exec ls -ld {} \; 2>/dev/null I want you to do that because I still suspect a problem with permissions, and that RPM can't write the file called 'files' to a certain location. > Not sure if I wanted to add the openpkg-tools, if I can live without it I > probably won't install it. Thanks for all the help. > Although I personally like the openpkg-tool Package, I recommend that you solve the above problems before installing it. That way you can be more specific when diagnosing. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Development Team, Operations Northern Europe Cable & Wireless Telecommunications Services
