| 207103 | 2004-01-13 07:35:00 | Using Mandrake Linux 9.1, 2.4.21-0.27mdk, i686. I upgraded the kernel the other day and have since been trying to make an rpm file for my Lucent winmodem as there are none for the 0.27 revision at heby.de/ltmodem (www.sfu.ca). I have the source and followed the instructions in the 1st-Read file. The kernel-headers are installed and I have made a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux as per the instructions. Running ./build_module worked fine and the modem can connect to the internet. The problem is that when trying to run ./build_rpm I get the following error: rm -rf rpmball mkdir rpmball cp -f lt_modem.o lt_serial.o rpmball cp -af 1ST-READ CHANGELOG UPDATES-BUGS DOCs utils rpmball cp -f ltmodem.spec rpmball cp -f debian/etc_devfs_conf.d_ltmodem rpmball tar czf rpmball.tar.gz rpmball rpm -tb --clean rpmball.tar.gz /usr/lib/rpm/rpmb: No such file or directory make: *** [rpm] Error 1 rpm build failed Obviously the problem is the line starting /usr/lib. Is this supposed to be a directory? There are files named rpmd, rpme, rpmi, rpmk, rpmq, rpmu and rpmv in the /usr/lib/rpm/ folder. How can I fix this? |

| 207104 | 2004-01-13 09:57:00 | You need to install the rpm-build package. "urpmi rpm-build" will do it. | bmason (508) | ||
