Hi,

Here is what I did when I tried to upgrade the libvirt on my centos5 system to the latest version.

sudo yum install python-devel xen-devel libxml2-devel readline-devel gnutls-devel wget ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.3.2-1.src.rpm sudo rpmbuild --rebuild libvirt-0.3.2-1.src.rpm

It's best to avoid building RPMs as root. Set up a non-root RPM buildroot instead. If you have rpmdevtools package installed, then there should be a command "rpmdev-setuptree" which does this. Otherwise read these instructions: http://genetikayos.com/code/repos/rpm-tutorial/trunk/rpm-tutorial.html

I think your best bet is to take a look at where it is installing these files. Find the RPM build root (usually /var/tmp/something) and do: find /var/tmp/something -type f The compare that list of files with the one in the spec file.

I tried to get around this by putting the following in the ~/.rpmmacros file (according to this webpage http://www.rpm.org/hintskinks/unpackaged/):

_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0 _missing_doc_files_terminate_build 0

However, that does not seem to help. Any ideas?

Should I just install the binary packages instead of building from source?

I must admit that I normally build from CVS, and on RHEL 5 that works just fine, so I can't see why it would work from Centos.

Make sure you have 'redhat-rpm-config' installed too - its a standard part of the build roots for all RHEL packages & defines alot of RPM macros to change build of various aspects of the build. If that wasn't present you can get all sorts of utterly bizzarre errors. Also, *never* build RPMs as root. It is a perfect way to completely and utterly trash your system. As non root create $HOME/.rpmmacros %_topdir /home/myusername/rpm And then create mkdir $HOME/rpm mkdir $HOME/rpm/{RPMS,SRPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,BUILD} mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/{noarch,i386,i686,x86_64}

I tried to get around this by putting the following in the ~/.rpmmacros file (according to this webpage http://www.rpm.org/ hintskinks/unpackaged/):

You are build as root - so a $HOME/.rpmmacros file isn't going to have any effect Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
