I seem to have gone from a rebuild failure to an installation failure.
Looking at this spec file:
http://dl.atrpms.net/all/freetype-static-f11.spec
I copied what appeared to be the relevant lines out of that into the
freetype.spec that I have in my rpmbuild/SPECS directory, so now the "Build
Freetype 2" section looks like this:
# Build Freetype 2
{
%configure --disable-static
sed -i 's|^hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=.*|hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=""|g'
builds/unix/libtool sed -i 's|^runpath_var=LD_RUN_PATH|
runpath_var=DIE_RPATH_DIE|g' builds/unix/libtool
make X11_PATH=/usr %{?_smp_mflags}
}
That actually worked and it built me this in my RPMS/x86_64 directory:
freetype-2.2.1-21.x86_64.rpm freetype-demos-2.2.1-21.x86_64.rpm
freetype-debuginfo-2.2.1-21.x86_64.rpm freetype-devel-2.2.1-21.x86_64.rpm
Dandy, I thought. Since the ATI proprietary driver web page states that it
requires the i386 stuff on an x86_64 machine, and since I appear to have both
i386 and x86_64 versions of freetype installed, I did my build again using
--arch-i386. And again, it worked:
freetype-2.2.1-21.i386.rpm freetype-demos-2.2.1-21.i386.rpm
freetype-debuginfo-2.2.1-21.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.2.1-21.i386.rpm
Interestingly enough, to install these I had to use the --oldpackage parameter
in the rpm command, otherwise it told me that a newer package was already
installed.
So:
rpm -U rpm -U --oldpackage i386/freetype-2.2.1-21.i386.rpm
x86_64/freetype-2.2.1-21.x86_64.rpm
And all appeared to be well. I then logged out and the fun started. gdm
crashed. Here is what it says in /var/log/messages:
Nov 20 16:42:38 mutt kernel: gdm-binary[32281]: segfault at 00000000f5d8bd84
rip 00002b883bd87ee6 rsp 00000000f5d8bd78 error 6
Lots and lots of lines that tell me that, over and over.
Logging in at a text console and running "yum update" brought me back to a
working system again.
The only thing I'm trying to do is to enable the bytecode interpreter on this
system. So far, it's a failed attempt.
