Some more info, I've also tried the same with RPM version 4.6.0-rc1. The make check gives errors, I'm attaching the error log. There were more errors before I installed libelf, even though I couldn't find any executable that was linking to -lelf. I'm trying to use rpm as my package manager for a Linux from Scratch system (www.linuxfromscratch.org). I'm trying to get it working early in the build process, so that I don't have to go back and recreate rpms for packages I've already compiled and installed. So I don't have everything a normal system would have. Here's what I have installed: Autoconf-2.63 Automake-1.10.1 Bash-3.2 Berkeley DB-4.7.25 Binutils-2.18 Bison-2.3 Bzip2-1.0.5 Coreutils-6.12 DejaGNU-1.4.4 Diffutils-2.8.1 E2fsprogs-1.41.3 Expect-5.43.0 Findutils-4.4.0 Gawk-3.1.6 GCC-4.3.2 Gettext-0.17 Glibc-2.8-20080929 GMP-4.2.4 Grep-2.5.3 Gzip-1.3.12 Iana-Etc-2.30 Libtool-2.2.6a Linux-2.6.27.4 API Headers M4-1.4.12 Make-3.81 Man-pages-3.11 MPFR-2.3.2 Ncurses-5.6 Patch-2.5.4 Perl-5.10.0 Procps-3.2.7 Readline-5.2 Sed-4.1.5 Tar-1.20 Tcl-8.5.5 Texinfo-4.13a Util-linux-ng-2.14.1 Zlib-1.2.3 At this point, I installed the things to get rpm to build, including: beecrypt CVS, which needed Vi NSS and NSPR libelf I don't have these: Expat, GnuPG, Python, Neon, or Libxml2 I saw these listed http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/rpm.txt as dependencies, but rpm seems to compile just fine without them... The rpm on my host FC5 system is linking to a bunch of different things than my new version.
