I'm trying to build the fpc 1.9.8 from the srpm and I get the following error message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpmbuild --rebuild --clean fpc-1.9.8-0.src.rpm Installing fpc-1.9.8-0.src.rpm error: File /home/michael/fpc/previous/buildsrc/fpc/build/rpm/SOURCES/fpc-1.9.8-src.tar.gz: No such file or directory ...and here's my .rpmmacros: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat .rpmmacros %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpm %_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp %_builddir %{_topdir}/BUILD %_rpmdir %{_topdir}/RPMS %_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES %_specdir %{_topdir}/SPECS %_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}/SRPMS %_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0 %_missing_doc_files_terminate_build 0 I checked the spec and topdir, sourcedir, builddir, rpmdir and srcrpmdir are redefined using absolute paths. I don't think this is right. There's also problems with the src.rpm of fpc from the lazarus sf site. It doesn't even look like an rpm at all: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpmbuild --rebuild --clean fpc-1.9.8-0.src.rpm Installing fpc-1.9.8-0.src.rpm error: InstallSourcePackage: headerRead failed: region trailer: BAD, tag 6781545 type 1879062784 offset -63 count 7 error: fpc-1.9.8-0.src.rpm cannot be installed _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
