Yes, you're right, so here I am :-) So maybe I should start with a short self-intro: I work as UNIX admin at Karolinska Instituttet in Stockholm, split between a department called the Center for Genetics and Bioinformatics, and a service called the Bioinformatics and Expression Analysis Core Facility. Other than day-to-day maintenance, I've got a pet project BioRPMS <http://apt.bea.ki.se> - this actually grew from an internal need for rpm's to keep our own machines in sync with each other. I do NOT claim to be an expert at rpmbuilding, but have done about 90 so far - they may be silly and primitive, though; the earlier ones make even me shake my head in disgusted amusement when I have to go back and update them. My cluster experience is somewhat limited: Upon taking the job, I inherited an old (1998) DYI beowulf, and couldn't make heads or tails of it, so I ended up turning half of it into an oscar, which seemed to please the users. Our next deployment involves two small clusters, each with a dual opteron frontend and a few single opteron nodes. One cluster for powering our web services, and one for developing them. I had nearly given up on oscar when I saw Bernard's mail last week about oscar-4.0, and so decided to see if I could in some small way help to make it happen. I'd guess that specfiles and rpms is where I could be of must use, if any. > Are you encountering any problems installing the code from SVN under Fedora > Core 2?

After installing PerlQt from source, I ran configure again, and then discovered the perlqt pakages hiding inside.... I've tried to do a rough'n'dirty --rebuild on all the srpms on FC2 i386 - I figured that ought to work before addressing x86_64 specific issues. That was a bit disappointing, though.

As this contradicts what everybody else is telling me about rpm-building, I have to ask if this is a deliberate design choice? And if yes, then why? Or maybe there's some clever chrooted environment setup that I need to build inside? I've tried working with mach, but there were too many unresolved issues, so I'm waiting/hoping for a new release. I still feel that I need to get a grip on building on i386 first, then tackle x86_64. > P.S. You need to be subscribed to oscar-devel list to post back, incase you > aren't already...
