Hi, I am working with some old makefiles which invoke rpm to build RPMs. Since I am working on Red Hat Linux 9, I have changed the rpm -bb invocations to rpmbuild -bb. On executing this makefile, I get the following error message: rpm -bb rpmname.spec Processing files: rpmname-1 Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files %{buildroot} getOutputFrom(): Broken pipe The spec file that I have got has the following format: Summary : Product Name Name : rpmname Version : ... Release : ... Group : Applications/System Copyright : xyz URL : ... Distribution : xyz Packager : xyz AutoReqProv : no Requires : list of rpms %description Description of product %files %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/jar1.jar %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/jar2.jar %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/dir1 %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/dir2 %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/dir3 %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/dir4 %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/dir5 %attr(-, root, root) /usr/productname/dir6 The required jars and the other directories are placed in /usr/productname/ using the makefile before invoking rpmbuild. Checking further, I see that the prep and the build phases pass, but the install phase is the one that gives the 'Broken pipe' error. Also the '-bl' (check-files) option also gives the same error. Looking at the error message, any idea where the problem might lie? Or any techniques to debug? Help appreciated. Thanks, Ted __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
