I've hit a bit of a wall trying to compile Python 2.1 on a Linux 6.2 box. I first run:
rpm --rebuild python2-2.1-5.src.rpm
and get back:
Installing python2-2.1-5.src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
expat-devel >= 1.1-3tummy is needed by python2-2.1-5
db1-devel is needed by python2-2.1-5
OK. So I run:
rpm -q expat
and get back:
package expat is not installed
So I run:
rpm --rebuild expat-1.1-3tummy.src.rpm
The last few lines read:
...
Executing(--clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97776
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
+ rm -rf expat
+ exit 0
Looks OK. So I run:
ls -al /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/expat*
And get:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93246 Jun 28 11:57 /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/expat-1.1-3tummy.i386.rpm
So I run:
rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/expat-1.1-3tummy.i386.rpm
rpm -q expat
And get:
expat-1.1-3tummy
Looks good. So I run:
rpm --rebuild python2-2.1-5.src.rpm
and STILL get back:
Installing python2-2.1-5.src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
expat-devel >= 1.1-3tummy is needed by python2-2.1-5
db1-devel is needed by python2-2.1-5
What am I missing? Any suggestions on where to look would be greatly appreciated.
