Hi eshsf, Thanks for your reply.

Hi

I would like to know how the readline libraries included in the following packages were compiled and archived.

readline-5.0-1.2.i586.rpm readline-devlevel-5.0-12.i586.rpm

Is there any way to know the compile option of there libraries?

It is in bash.spec in bash-3.0-8.2.src.rpm and /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc.

Hmm, it seems there is no bash.spec in bash-3.0.8.2.src.rpm :( hostname@linux:/usr/lib/rpm> rpm -qli bash-3.0 Name : bash Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 3.0 Vendor: SUSE LINUX AG, Nuernberg, Germany Release : 8.2 Build Date: 2004年12月03日 10時32分57秒 Install date: 2005年06月26日 14時35分20秒 Build Host: c001n13.suse.de Group : System/Shells Source RPM: bash-3.0-8.2.src.rpm Size : 2583396 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, 2004年12月03日 10時39分24秒, Key ID a84edae89c800aca Packager : http://www.suse.de/feedback URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/bash.html Summary : The GNU Bourne-Again Shell Description : Bash is an sh-compatible command interpreter that executes commands read from standard input or from a file.

Hi,

It is in bash.spec in bash-3.0-8.2.src.rpm and /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc.

Hmm, it seems there is no bash.spec in bash-3.0.8.2.src.rpm :(

hostname@linux:/usr/lib/rpm> rpm -qli bash-3.0 [snip]

Any other place to look at?

a bash.spec(or *.spec) is not installed in the system, and is just used when making rpm file.

...

rpm -i bash-3.0-8.2.src.rpm

if you extract a source file from *.src.rpm, that execute the following command, the files extracted is generated in SPECS and SOURCES directories.

I couldn't find SPECS and SOURCES directories. Where can I find them? Thanks
