I went to install openssh on my cobalt raq2[0] yesterday. Instead of my usual
compile-from-source routine, I decided to try using a RPM.
I logged into the box and su'd to root.
Since there wasn't a MIPS(el) RPM, I got the source RPM [1]. I went and
typed:
rpm --rebuild openssl-0.9.5a-1.src.rpm
The first time it died because it was looking for /usr/local/bin/perl, and
the raq has /usr/bin/perl. So I symlinked a /usr/local/bin/perl, and I was
off.
Let me now bitch that this process takes WAY TOO FREAKIN' LONG.
This time it died because it couldn't find bc. So I found a bc rpm [3] and
installed it.
And waited another 45 minutes. And this time, it died with the following
error:
+ mv /var/tmp/openssl-0.9.5a-root/usr/man/man7/des_modes.7
/var/tmp/openssl-0.9.5a-root/usr/man/man7/des_modes.7ssl
+ install -m644 rsaref/rsaref.h
/var/tmp/openssl-0.9.5a-root/usr/include/openssl
install: /var/tmp/openssl-0.9.5a-root/usr/include/openssl: No such file or
directory
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.99346 (%install)
Question #1: how do I fix that problem?
Question #2: is there a way to have the rpm --rebuild continue from where it
left off?

[0] For people on openssl-users, a raq2 is a MIPS-based (mipsel) linux
system, running a variant of RedHad Linux 5.2, which has been customized by
Cobalt. The kernel version is a variant of 2.0.34, with (lots of?) stuff
backported. I have 256 MB of RAM and 15GB of disk space.
