"make rpm" or "rpmbuild --rebuild libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.src.rpm" is broken. With good reason he (rpmbuild) complains about not finding libvirt_proxy. In proxy/Makefile a lot of is commented out - is this due to the libvirt_proxy buffer overflow? There is no libvirt_proxy in the libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm package: rr016# rpm -pq --list /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm|grep proxy Warnung: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA-Signatur: NOKEY, key ID de95bc1f Therefore i think the libvirt.spec must be patched to not include libvirt_proxy by default as follows: --- /tmp/libvirt.spec.old 2009-04-03 22:12:26.000000000 +0200 +++ /tmp/libvirt.spec 2009-04-03 22:12:05.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ # -*- rpm-spec -*- %define with_xen 0%{!?_without_xen:1} -%define with_xen_proxy 0%{!?_without_xen_proxy:1} +%define with_xen_proxy 0%{!?_without_xen_proxy:0} %define with_qemu 0%{!?_without_qemu:1} %define with_openvz 0%{!?_without_openvz:1} %define with_lxc 0%{!?_without_lxc:1} Then the "make rpm" builds as the libvirt-0.6.2-1.fc9.x86_64.rpm.
