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: http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/manual/ch02.html
OK ... after several changes to the spec file, I got this to build. The process was rather intense, so rather than trying to document it I will post a good SRPM after I verify that all the build requirements are there and it will also build the same in mock.
So, in a couple minutes expect a link to download a GOOD SRPM for this package that builds on centos-5 i386 and x86_64
