Hi all, I just tried: root@planck[Numeric-23.1]# ./setup.py build bdist --formats=rpm and after a while I got this traceback: moving build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SRPMS/Numeric-23.1-1.src.rpm -> dist Traceback (most recent call last): File "./setup.py", line 182, in ? ext_modules = ext_modules File "/usr/src/build/394694-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/core.py", line 149, in setup File "/usr/src/build/394694-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py", line 907, in run_commands File "/usr/src/build/394694-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py", line 927, in run_command File "/usr/src/build/394694-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/command/bdist.py", line 146, in run File "/usr/lib/python2.3/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command File "/usr/src/build/394694-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py", line 927, in run_command File "/usr/src/build/394694-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py", line 316, in run AssertionError: unexpected number of RPM files found: ['build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/RPMS/i386/Numeric-23.1-1.i386.rpm', 'build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/RPMS/i386/Numeric-debuginfo-23.1-1.i386.rpm'] As it turns out, the rpm DID get correctly built, but the -debuginfo- one is confusing setup.py. I simply copied the rpm by hand and moved on, but someone who knows more about distutils than me might want to look into this. Cheers, f
