Re: strange problem with checkinstall and spamassassin

2003-10-09 Thread M.W. Chang
I found the reason. it's the apache-toolbox that created a redhat
directory in /usr/src. checkinstall's script scanned the redhat
directory first before OpenLInux. I removed the directory and everything
is fine now.

why would there be a redhat word when I am using caldera OpenLinux system?
 Nope, it's just checkinstall assuming you're using redhat. 
 
 You have two options:
 A.- Modify checkinstall to use the correct directory
 B.- Symlink /usr/src/redhat to /usr/src/OpenLinux

strange problem with checkinstall and spamassassin

2003-09-27 Thread M.W. Chang

I was trying to install Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60 from tarball.
Perl Makefile.PL
make
checkinstall

I ran into this error:

Installing RPM package... FAILED!

*** Failed to install the package

Do you want to see the log file?  [y]:
error: cannot open file
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60-1.i386.
rpm: No such file or directory

why would there be a redhat word when I am using caldera OpenLinux system?
