RPM spec file

[linuxdan]

Hello All

I've been building RPMs for Zabbix via an old 1.4 spec file that I found floating around the net. I just keep updating it for newer versions of Zabbix. It's worked for me up through 1.6.2. Now I'm trying to upgrade to 1.6.4 and I'm running into problems. Does anyone else build zabbix RPMs for RHEL or CentOS? I'm not very familiar with RPMs and spec files so my spec file is just a horrible hack. I'll attach it in case anyone wants to play with it.

Does anyone have a working spec file for 1.6.4?

Cheers

Dan

Hi linuxdan,

I made zabbix-1.6.4 RPM package on CentOS 5.3.
My spec file came from fedora project originally.

You don't need to patch "zabbix-1.5.4-cpustats.patch". Because, this function is merged into zabbix-1.6.3.

You can download from as follows hyper-link if you want my SRC.RPM.
download zabbix-1.6.4-1.src.rpm

[linuxdan]

Doesn't quite work.

That is odd, you spec file looks pretty much the same as mine except for those patches. However I'm still having problems. I get the following error:

rm: cannot remove `/var/tmp/zabbix-1.6.4-1-root-root/usr/sbin/zabbix_server': No such file or directory

Anyone else running into this problem?

Hi linuxdan,

I don't know the error factor. However, could you remove the directory manually?

# rm -rf /var/tmp/zabbix-1.6.4-1-root-root/

If above command cannot help, could you attach error log for rpmbuild?

[linuxdan]

Don't know where the rpmbuild log is.

Hey T2Y

I hadn't thought of nuking the entire build dir. However that didn't help.
I'd be glad to post a rpmbuild error log but I don't know where it is. Forgive my ignorance but I'm new to RPMs and a quick google for "rpmbuild error log" didn't turn up anything helpful. Where does rpmbuild store logs?

Hi linuxdan,

OK. I'm RPM specialist.
About rpmbuild log which I want, you can get as follows.

# rpmbuild -ba zabbix.spec > rpmbuild.log 2>&1

[linuxdan]

Ah just a copy of the output.

Ok I've attached a copy of the output from rpmbuild. I thought by the way you asked for it that there was an actual log file. Hope it helps you more than it helped me.

Thanks Again

Dan

Hi linuxdan,

I compared your rpmbuild.log and mine(it's succeeded).
I think "zabbix_server" is not built normally in your environment.

I found the diff about libcurl directory between yours and mine.
I suspect rpmbuild cannot find the libcurl directory correctly, however, I'm not sure.

In my environment(CentOS5.3), the libcurl is provided by curl-devel package.

# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libcurl.so
curl-devel-7.15.5-2.1.el5_3.4

Could you rpmbuild again after you installed curl-devel package into your environment?

[linuxdan]

curl-devel already installed

I already have curl-devel installed.

$ rpm -q curl-devel
curl-devel-7.12.1-11.1.el4_7.1

Also oddly enough I'm having the same problems building the RPMs on RHEL 5 which should be identical to CentOS 5 if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for all your help, and let me know if you have any other ideas.

Thanks

Dan

Hi linuxdan,

Hmm, I have no idea.
You use my spec file, don't you? There is an unimaginable problem since it works for me. Dependency, library, or something,,,

BTW for anyone interested the Fedora SRPM can me utilized to build RHEL packages. It can be grabbed from their build system here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4278

One thing to keep in mind when installing some (if not all) SRPMs from F11+ is that you must use the --nomd5 otherwise you will see a invalid MD5 sum error.
