Assuming that you are in /etc/sudoers!!!!
And then asked for a password.
Which password? My userid or root's? I tried both and after 3 tries got:
me is not in sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
removing '/home/me/rpmbuild/BUILD/hipl--main--2.6/hipl-1.0.4'
The end user account password is what sudo is looking for ... as
noted, it seems you had not configured /etc/sudoers to include you.
So I look at /etc/sudoers and do not understand what I am suppose to
do there.
A sample entry which permits a single user machine to do root
operations when needed, but to stay in its non-priv'd mode most of the
time looks like something as simple as:
[herrold@new ~]$ sudo grep herrold /etc/sudoers
Password: [here, the end user 'herrold's password]
herrold ALL=(ALL) ALL
[herrold@new ~]$
... We need root rights to read /etc/sudoers, or else it would have
not been needed except for teaching reasons.
A bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
Hope this helps .. I wonder a bit at your description of untarring,
./configure'ing, etc ... that is not part of rpm building from .spec
or SRPM.
Here is what I was told to do:
wget http://hipl.hiit.fi/hipl/hipl.tar.gz
you can build on CentOS by executing:
tar xvzf hipl.tar.gz
cd hipl--main--2.6
./autogen.sh
./configure
make rpm
("make install" works too, but installs to /usr/local by default)
Software requirements are listed here:
