I did a little experiment. I took the Mandrake XFree86-4.spec file from the Mandrake XFree86-4.0.1-24mdk.src.rpm and used it to replace the Redhat XFree86.spec file that comes with the Redhat XFree86-4.0.2- 1.src.rpm. I then did an "rpm -bb XFree86-4.spec" using the Redhat source. Guess what happens...the build fails JUST like with the Mandrake src.rpm, at the same spot with the same messages (listed below). This is DIFFERENT than where the build dies using the Redhat spec file, which does die a similar death, just at a slightly different timepoint. There IS something "not right" with some part of either Mandrake or the source itself. There are NO missing dependencies. None. There is nothing odd about my system. All I am trying to do is build the friggin' XFree86-4 source. This is the ONLY src.rpm that I cannot successfully build. The fact that there are NO errors anywhere indicates something wrong with the entire rpm or rpm-build system, OR something is wrong with the source, be it an Imakefile or whatever. If there is something missing, then it should be detected at the beginning during the configure process OR if there is a missing dependency, rpm should detect that. Since it doesn't, there is a real flaw. praedor Praedor Tempus wrote: > > I have been totally unable to build XFree86-4.0.1-23 or -24mdk.src.rpm. > It almost completes, getting to the point of doing all the "finding > rpm-requires" and "finding rpm provides" messages that usually go > hand-in-hand with binary rpm writing.
