A spec file and an SRPM are here: http://jjames.fedorapeople.org/csdp/ The spec file has all the macros from /etc/rpm/macros.octave pasted at the top, because I'm working on a Fedora 14 machine. I tried erasing all of that and building on an F-15 virtual machine, but the build failed at the step where I did "%octave_cmd pkg build '-verbose' %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch} csdp", like this: + octave -H -q --no-site-file --eval 'pkg build '\''-verbose'\'' /var/tmp/csdp-6.1.1-1.fc15.x86_64 csdp' warning: creating build directory /var/tmp/csdp-6.1.1-1.fc15.x86_64 mkdir (/tmp/oct-DUg3Jt) untar (csdp, /tmp/oct-DUg3Jt) unpack: FILETYPE must be gunzip for a directory error: called from `unpack' in file /usr/share/octave/3.4.0/m/miscellaneous/unpack.m near line 47, column 9 error: called from: error: /usr/share/octave/3.4.0/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 729, column 5 error: /usr/share/octave/3.4.0/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 592, column 3 error: /usr/share/octave/3.4.0/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 464, column 7 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LSJPC4 (%build) You were asking for help, and here I am taking up your time. Please don't spend much effort on this. I just need the Csdp library, not the Octave interface, so if this looks too hairy I can drop Octave support for now. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
