I thought kde3 required a later version of glibc then what 7.2 has installed. Nop. I'm working on that. I have it working right now..(or something like that... ) with glibc 2.1 Shouldn't be any problem, if the c++ compiler works fine... it could compile kde 3.0.1. Let me tell you the story I was looking for packages of kde3 that work with glibc 2.1 but the only thing I found was some updates packages from Suse (for suse version 7.0 that use glibc 2.1) that I install by hand in our cluster. At this point I must say that it surprise me. Suse have kde v3.0.1 packages for all the previous versions... that was very interesting. I mean... you could be at the edge even if you have an old system. I take this packages and open them with rpm2cpio and then use cpio to extract the files so I don't mess the rpm database. and configure the rest by hand. A this point the cluster is a mess... some stuff build by hand, other installed with rpm. But right now I compile kdelibs and kdebase from the mdk packages. twiking the specs and modifiying and deleting some buildrequires. It's not very clean but here in Argentina lo atamos con alambre .

Re: [expert] RPM - Rebuild question.
Just as a side note, apparently rpmbuild --rebuild *.src.rpm is the preferred way of rebuilding now... That's what the RH guys tell me... Don't know what the difference is between rpm and rpmbuild...

Re: [expert] RPM - Rebuild question.
I never use rpmrebuild may be I could try it... I don't see the difference really I check the man page http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/rpmbuild8.html and the build options are the same as rpm...

Re: [expert] RPM - Rebuild question.
(With tongue firmly planted in cheek) Are the guys who tell you this the same ones who let RH7.0 out into the wild (the one that was so complete it even contains the Ramen Worm!)? Seriously though. Yeah, I can and do go the route of installing the src rpms but I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to pass that one switch. I've got to prepare a class so to speak on basic RPM building/compiling and was curious if this could be added. As for rpmrebuild. Even Maximum rpm doesn't have anything on that ( my copy is about 6 months or so old though) Interesting, that they would bother with the name switch when all it accomplishes is confusing the heck out of the users. Must have been a Marketing decision *grin*. James On Wed, 12 Jun 2002 16:41:06 -0400 Alfredo C.Lopez [EMAIL PROTECTED] said with temporary authority I never use rpmrebuild may be I could try it...

[expert] RPM rebuild question
Hi, I'm trying to rebuild some source RPMs for my athlon box but I have some problems with option --target=. I've also found that when I type: rpm -rebuild --target=i686 filename.rpm the result is: --target=i686: unknown option Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

Re: [expert] RPM rebuild question
There was a change on the newer versions of RPM. The target flag is now: -target i386 (they dropped the =. man rpm bears this out: --target PLATFORM When building the package, interpret PLATFORM as arch-vendor-os and set the macros %_target, %_target_arch, and %_target_os accord ingly. There is no = between --target, and the platform designation.

Re: [expert] RPM rebuild question
The full command then would be 'rpm --rebuild --target i386 filename.rpm' to rebuild an rpm for i386.
