failure of rpm build

Wed Sep 20 19:20:59 CEST 2000

Dear Arla people,

I have been trying to build an arla rpm on SuSE 6.2. I found a spec file
which seems to be the least Redhat like of all the spec files I have
seen. It was buried inside the conf directory in the source 0.33.1
distribution. I have made a minor change to the following to conform with
SuSE:

#mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/sbin/init.d
cp xfs/linux/bin/arla $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/sbin/init.d/arla
chmod 555 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/sbin/init.d/arla

(it originally installed $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d  in
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d). Otherwise, I have left it
untouched. 

Now, when I try to build the rpm (naturally, I do not do this under root),
the build exits with the following error message:

Can someone tell me what is going on, and how to fix it? I am not even
sure what the install script is trying to do. Needless to say, I really,
really don't want to build the rpm as root.

I am now going to go take a look at the latest source.

                     Best regards, Faheem Mitha
