Hi, I'm having some problems when using "build" from console. I have no problems with stock packages but I'm trying to build from a spec of my own and I get these errors:

RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.86508 (%install) ------------------------------------

I've been reading the Check script and I guess that it tries to compress info and man pages, but my source package is just a skeleton of a root filesystem and it has the /usr/local/{share,info,man} dirs symlinked to /usr/{share,info,man}.

I could make dirs instead of symlinks but I would like to know if it is possible to make it work with my symlinks.

Thanks.

For sure you can use ln -s in your spec. Have you noticed this?: /var/tmp/base-0.1-build//usr/local/man.gz -> share/man.gz There are two slash there, got it? By the way, I wonder why do you want to link set up man pages in /usr/local instead of using manpages as a normal PATH: For instance %{_mandir}/man1/info.gz %{_mandir}/man1/man.gz Anyway, it's better if you provided us full spec file All the best. -- Manuel Arostegui Ramirez.
