%files question

[Dey Niranjan]

Hi Stuart,

Any luck with the problem of too many files in the %files list?

Cheers.

not AFAIK. Otherwise we'd have an absolute nightmare building RPMs for 
anything at all complicated. glibc (on this system) contains over 300 files.

exactly what is the error message you are seeing?
perhaps your %files list  (or the whole spec file) might be useful too.
