The error is this: >Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files %{buildroot} >getOutputFrom(): Broken pipe >Process rpmbuild exited abnormally with code 1 The spec file is pretty straightforward, make and make install, with a few lines of configuration for other files, but nothing to do with the files being installed. The files are a list ending with .php: Eg. /usr/local/lib/php/Archive/Tar.php /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Command/Build.php /usr/local/lib/php/PEAR/Frontend/CLI.php etc -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stuart Sears Sent: 03 April 2006 16:54 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: %files question On Monday 03 April 2006 16:41, Dey Niranjan wrote: > I am trying to build an rpm for php, but when I enter the list of files, > the build fails.

Can anyone tell me why that might be? Is there a > limit to the number of files that can be packaged? not AFAIK. Otherwise we'd have an absolute nightmare building RPMs for anything at all complicated. glibc (on this system) contains over 300 files. exactly what is the error message you are seeing? perhaps your %files list (or the whole spec file) might be useful too.
