rpmbuild fails in this specfile line
echo > files.fglrx
So "echo > /usr/src/packages/BUILD/files.fglrx" doesn't work on your system - for whatever reasons. Please verify.
No! it says /usr/src/packages/BUILD/files.fglrx: File exists. Because: # ll /usr/src/packages/BUILD/files.fglrx -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 342 20 jan 20:50 /usr/src/packages/BUILD/files.fglrx Aparantly this file has not been cleaned up after an earlier build (by root). It seems like this is not the only file that has not been clean up, the resulting rpm files themself has not been clean up after builds. # tree /usr/src/packages/ /usr/src/packages/ |-- BUILD | `-- files.fglrx |-- RPMS | |-- noarch | `-- x86_64 | |-- fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE102-8.40.4-1.x86_64.rpm | |-- fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.443.1-1.x86_64.rpm | `-- fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.452.1-1.x86_64.rpm |-- SOURCES |-- SPECS `-- SRPMS And they are also only writeable by root (because I have once built them as root. # ll /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/ totalt 55298 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14444637 4 okt 23:42 fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE102-8.40.4-1.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20595374 27 dec 13:21 fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.443.1-1.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21522202 20 jan 20:50 fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.452.1-1.x86_64.rpm After having cleaned up this stuff, I can now build as non-root. However the build procedure leaves some traces: # tree /usr/src/packages/ /usr/src/packages/ |-- BUILD | `-- files.fglrx |-- RPMS | |-- noarch | `-- x86_64 | `-- fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.452.1-1.x86_64.rpm |-- SOURCES |-- SPECS `-- SRPMS I will suggest that these two files should be removed at the end of build procedure...
