Hi, I'm currently trying to compile the latest version of Bacula using the src rpm on RHEL. I downloaded the bacula-1.38.11-3.src.rpm package, rpm -ivh'ed it and then entered /usr/src/redhat/SPECS (I have installed the latest version of PostgreSQL - 8.1.4 - as well as it's devel libraries). I then run the following command:
rpmbuild -ba --define "build_rhel4 1" --define "build_postgresql 1" bacula.spec It starts compiling and successfully completes the documentation part as well as the rescue part. But then, things take a turn. I then notice the compilation using up more than 1 GB worth of RAM and then starting to use up my swap space (another 1 GB). I'm suspicious because there are tons of compilation processes when I run something like. Here's an example of output of ps -auxwww: root 3111 0.0 0.0 7916 644 pts/0 S+ 21:25 0:00 rpmbuild -ba --define build_rhel4 1 --define build_postgresql 1 bacula.spec root 3145 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

It then starts killing processes and fails. Any ideas? Is this a bug? Has anyone successfully compiled the latest version using the src rpm? Thanks for your help. PS. It's not a question of running out of hard disk space since I have about 150 - 200 MB left at the point at which it runs out of RAM and swap. -- Mathew Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
