Thanks to: Michael Schloh von Bennewitz and Matthias Kurz for their unwavering support. Michael mentioned something about openpkg being perl based and *wham* I recalled perl's permission.
One of the program/software I installed and ran on the server changed permission of /openpkg/bin/perl to 4555 I changed it back to 755 and everything starts to compile like normal again. # ls -al perl -r-sr-xr-x 1 openpkg openpkg 858896 Feb 18 19:07 perl [EMAIL PROTECTED] /openpkg/bin# chmod 755 perl [EMAIL PROTECTED] /openpkg/bin# ls -al perl -rwxr-xr-x 1 openpkg openpkg 858896 Feb 18 19:07 perl The effect of wrong perl permission is weird UID/GID created during compilation, and the file "files" not being created properly. Regards, - Mike ---------- original message ---------- I've remove the apache binary package that was installed, reboot the server, make certain /openpkg/RPM/TMP has enough disk space (4+Gig). The error message still appears, it seems like apache doesn't want to compile and something about %files file...no such file or directory. Where do I get the "openpkg build" --supposedly in the tools? but I don't see it at ftp.openpkg.org or do I need to get it someplace else?
