I'm learning as I go. I'm testing things out so I can learn to do source builds and patches for freedom, justice and the RedHat Way under fedora! I am trying to get a package into redhat from another direction, as I did not see the package available on rpmfind, etc. So, I pull down grace source from mandrake, pull down the t1lib-devel source and the netcdf source mandrake rpms and build and install the latter. Rather painless, except for the search. Now, I try rpmbuild -bb grace.spec. It goes well, down to the last. Now, I'm a bit puzzled, and this will probably clue me in on a huge lot of things. I download the grace tarball, and it builds just fine. the grace source rpm does not. Here is my error updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating Make.conf creating config.h + %make /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.80724: line 46: fg: no job control error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.80724 (%build) I suspect something different between redhat and mandrake. However, the previous versions of mandrake rpms compiled just fine. Looking at the rpm-tmp.80274 file, line 46 is %make make is indeed a good command. Is the % causing the problem??? Is this a source RPM issue, or is it Stupid User Tricks? thanks, wade
