Hi,
For those on several python lists, I appologize in advance for
cross-posting, but I'm really not sure which list is best to ask for
assistance with this.
Currently, I am trying to build the python2.4 SRPM from Python.org on a
RHEL4 x64 platform, but the build is failing with a very non-descript
error message.
....
+ cd /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/bin
+ mv -f pydoc pydoc2.4
+ cd /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/bin
+ mv -f idle idle2.4
+ echo '#!/bin/bash'
+ echo 'exec /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/lib64/python2.4/idlelib/idle.py'
+ chmod 755 /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/bin/idle2.4
+ cp -a Tools /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/lib64/python2.4
+ rm -f mainpkg.files
+ find /var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload -type f
+ sed 's|^/var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root|/|'
+ grep -v -e '_tkinter.so$'
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55639 (%install)
RPM build errors:
user jafo does not exist - using root
group jafo does not exist - using root
user jafo does not exist - using root
group jafo does not exist - using root
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55639 (%install)
If I try to run /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55639 manually from the prompt manually
after the rpmbuild fails, it runs properly to completion. If I try to
comment out that last line (find
/var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root/usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload -type f | sed
's|^/var/tmp/python2.4-2.4-root|/|' | grep -v -e '_tkinter.so$' ) that seems
to be causing the script to fail, rpmbuild finishes, but with several error
msgs, complaining about missing files in the lib64 directories:
+ rm -f /tmp/python-rpm-files.4859
+ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress
+ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip

Finally, if I try searching for any files in the
usr/lib64/python2.4/lib-dynload or usr/lib64/python2.4/idlelib directories
manually, I don't see any files at all in those directories.
To me, it seems as though python is either not installing the files in the
right places, or the script is searching for files in the wrong places, but
I'm completely guessing here.
Has anyone managed to build Python2.4 on a RHEL4 x64 system? Can anyone
point me in the right direction to complete this build successfully? I'm
hoping to get the binaries built so I can contribute them to the python.org
site so others don't need to go through these problems in the future.
Any hints / ideas / suggestions / guidance that anyone can provide would
amazing, because I'm completely out of ideas at this point. Like I said,
I'm trying to build this on a RHEL4 x64 system, with all latest updates.
Thanks so much!
Eric
