Hi! I try to rebuild the lm_sensors on centos 5.x but i have a quite
strange error after the command "rpmbuild -ba lm_sensors.spec" in
~/rpmbuild/SPECS :

Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.33336

make: *** [install-lib] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.33336 (%install)

any idea why it tries to install at the rpm making step?


Check to see if selinux is blocking the remove. Also check the
permissions on /usr/lib64/libsensors.a (both regular permissions
and "lsattr").

It's most likely that the library is owned by root and doesn't have
"other write" permissions. If you're building as an ordinary user, the
rpmbuild script won't be able to remove the old library unless it does
a "sudo" or "su" before the "install" step.

The old library may also have the immutable flag set
("lsattr /usr/lib64/libsensors.a" would show the "i" flag), in which
case you'd have to "chattr -i /usr/lib64/libsensors.a" (as the root
user or a user with the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability) to remove it.

but i dont do install step.. i just want the rpm to be made!
isn't it a bug to make a rpmbuild and as a result to have a script that
want to remove something?


Thanks!
Adrian

Usually an RPM spec file has an install section. But it also uses
DESTDIR which points to some harmless install directory to make sure
that the rpm build process does not mess with the files on your filesystem.


What is wrong in the build above is the empty DESTDIR. Do you see
DESTDIR= ? That should have the value of RPM_BUILD_ROOT. So you need to
check the spec file for this (and perhaps other) issues. It is likely
that a spec file from an F17 SRPM is in several ways not compatible with
CentOS 5. For starters, F17 no longer uses initscripts but has moved to
systemd.


Your best bet is probably to look at the spec file of the lm_sensors
SRPM from CentOS 5 and integrate the initscripts and any other CentOS 5
specific things into the spec file of the lm_sensors F17 SRPM.

Patrick
