Hi,
I'm completely new to RPM packaging, so if the following is
basic stuff just point me to a web page or FAQ.
I've created a number of RPMs packages (on CentOS 5.2). In particular
one for GCC works fine if I install it with the 'rpm -i' command.
When I build a repository (metadata created w/ createrepo) and access it
through yum (or pirut) the process stops complaining about unsatisfiable
dependency constraints. The output of a yum installation is as follow
(pirut agrees on the result):
[mav@centos-dev rpm_creation]$ sudo yum install polymath-gcc-4.3.3-native-native

* Local Polymath Repository: repository
* base: mirror.trouble-free.net
* updates: mirror.trouble-free.net
* addons: yum.singlehop.com
* extras: mirror.steadfast.net

Error: Missing Dependency: libmpfr.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package polymath-gcc-4.3.3-native-native
Now those dependencies are in the rpm file, but not explicitely in my
spec file. rpmbuild added them. Just to minimize possibilities of
errors, I created the RPMs on the same CentOS system on which yum is
later run, although in my understanding this shouldn;t be necessary.
Would somebody be so kind to point me in the right direction and help me
understand the difference between yum and rpm processing of
dependencies?
TIA,
Maurizio
