Hi All, Ok so I have located and solved the problem with the 2nd part of the rpm Build patch which was producing the 2nd errors on the src/Makefile.in in the email down. I still only have the 1st error which is produced when patching /errors/Makefile.in whereby I change only errordir and DEFAULT_ERROR_DIR to conform with redhat settings. Do you see anything wrong with the patch settings? Please your help here is much appreciated. @@ -188,11 +188,11 @@ sbindir = @sbindir@ sharedstatedir = @sharedstatedir@ srcdir = @srcdir@ sysconfdir = @sysconfdir@ target_alias = @target_alias@ top_build_prefix = @top_build_prefix@ top_builddir = @top_builddir@ top_srcdir = @top_srcdir@ -errordir = $(datadir)/errors +errordir = $(pkgdatadir)/errors -DEFAULT_ERROR_DIR = $(errordir) +DEFAULT_ERROR_DIR = $(sysconfdir)/errors INSTALL_LANGUAGES = @ERR_LANGUAGES@ LANGUAGES = \ Sincerely, Ragheb Rustom Email: ragheb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Ragheb Rustom [mailto:ragheb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 11:56 AM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Squid2.7 build patch not working in certain parts of the hunks Importance: High Hi All, I have been regenerating the build patch file for squid2.7.STABLE7 to reflect the new Makefile.in and am you have introduced after squid.2.7-STABLE5.
