rpmbuild freeradius-server-2.0.3.tar.gz
CentOS 4.6 (final) per instructions I received when rpmbuilding 2.0.1, I added "%_incdir /usr/include" to my .rpmmacros file. I was unsure whether or not the dir in the tgz still needed renaming to freeradius-2.0.3 so I left it as is. Now, I get the following error returned after running rpmbuild -bb freeradius.spec: RPM build errors: File not found: /var/tmp/freeradius-server-root/usr/share/freeradius-server Any clues? - Andrew
RPM build errors: File not found: /var/tmp/freeradius-server-root/usr/share/freeradius-server
[along@host SPECS]$ ls /var/tmp/freeradius-server-root/usr/share/ doc freeradius man
freeradius is freeradius-server - so change the rpmbuild accordingly.
Can you be a little more specific for me, I already tried renaming the dir inside the tgz to freeradius-2.0.3 but that yields even more errors. I am not sure where to make the required change. Andrew
Hi,
RPM build errors: File not found: /var/tmp/freeradius-server-root/usr/share/freeradius-server
[along@host SPECS]$ ls /var/tmp/freeradius-server-root/usr/share/ doc freeradius man

the RPM build expects to see /var/tmp/freeradius-server-root/usr/share/freeradius-server but you only have /var/tmp/freeradius-server-root/usr/share/freeradius if this is, indeed, what gets extracted, then edit the .spec file accordingly alan

All good.

Just hoping that these changes get written into the next release OR that someone can point out my stupidity and where I am erring in the build process that the initial rpmbuild fails with the supplied spec file. Also, I think I am not alone in using CentOS, so a note might be nice in the INSTALL or README regarding the need to add %_incdir /usr/include to .rpmmacros on Cent (or, to change it to _includedir - as pointed out by Richard Siddal). - Andrew

I think it's because the server installs dictionaries in /usr/share/freeradius, and the spec file expects to see them in /user/share/freeradius-server. Change this line: %{_datadir}/%{name} to: %{_datadir}/freeradius The spec file *should* then work with the freeradius-server-2.0.3.tar.gz file, subject to the _incdir comments below.

Ok... Alan DeKok.

On Cent, this means change _incdir to _includedir in freeradius.spec. And now the rpmbuild does indeed complete without error. And a question... I had 2.0.1 installed from an rpmbuild. Now, I built 2.0.3 with the caveats above, so the rpm is freeradius-server-2.0.3.rpm. When I tested the upgrade I got conflicts with files from freeradius-2.0.1. Is this because when I built that (2.0.1) server, I went about fixing the .spec file in the "other way" ie, by renaming the dir inside the tarball as freeradius-2.0.1? To get this install going, I ended up erasing 2.0.1 and doing a clean install of 2.0.3, but I wonder if in the future an upgrade should work again now that the package name is left as intended. - Andrew

You are getting the errors because two different packages (freeradius and freeradius-server) are both claiming to own the same files (because you renamed the package). To correct this problem simply remove the first package (rpm -e freeradius) and the conflicts should go away. However, you might want to consider using a package name of freeradius and not freeradius-server so the names are consistent with the rpm names in use on RHEL, Cent, and Fedora systems. -- John Dennis <jdennis@redhat.com>

OK, thanks.

Yes.

Yes. Alan DeKok.
