Re: rpm doesn't recognize that apache installed

Hi Lamar

THanks for your reply

if i execute 'rpm --rebuild apache-source-name' it complains and gives 
errors:
Installing apache-2.0.39.src.rpm
error: Unable to open /usr/lib/rpm/macros.perl: No such file or directory
error: Nam field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Release  field must be present in package: (main package)
....


If i try and do 'rpm -ivh apachefile.rpm' it also compainls about failed 
dependencies:
error: failed dependencies:
       /usr/bin/getgid is needed by apache-2.0.39-0.2
       /bin/id is neede by apache-2.0.39-0.2
       rc-scripts is neede by apache-2.0.39-0.2
       ......


So i can't even get at the source  files. For the other src.rpm packages 
(like mod_perl-1.26-5) that are in the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS.
when i try and install them via the rpm i get the same error indicating that 
it needs apache installed (which already is).


Please help :(


thanks

desmond
