| I've gotten quite good at making these. I'm wondering does anyone have any tips for not making them? Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I have ruby 1.8.4 needed for a package, so I download and attempt to build ruby-1.8.4 Summary: PSI ruby build 1.8.4 Name: ruby Version: 1.8.4 Release: dev Source0: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz Provides: %{name} #Requires: BuildRoot: /tmp/%{name} %description %prep %setup %define installDir /usr/local/ ./configure --prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{installDir} %build make %install make install %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %post %files %defattr(755,dev,dev) /%{installDir}/bin/erb [...yadda yadda..] when I'm done I get... ]# rpm -ivh ~/rpm/RPMS/i386/ruby-1.8.4-dev.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: /tmp/ruby/usr/local//bin/ruby is needed by ruby-1.8.4-dev.i386 notice the line from the build report... Processing files: ruby-1.8.4-dev Requires(post): /bin/sh Requires: /tmp/ruby/usr/local//bin/ruby libc.so.6 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) why is find-requires looking in the RPM_BUILD_ROOT? thanks -zac |
