Has anyone been able to successfully build GAIM from the source RPM for SuSE 10?

" Doing a simple ./configure and make in the RPM build directory works fine, but then I do not get a nice RPM to install from. The issue seems to have something to do with the prefix definitions in the spec. file but I am not quite sure what it is. Any thoughts?

I know I'll get flamed for this, but how about using checkinstall ? It will build an RPM for you. As I have seen mentioned on this list several times, you don't have all the options as a regular RPM build, but it works. I'm sitting back on SUSE 8.2 (10.0 due in tomorrow, yay !) and use the ./configure, make and checkinstall to keep up with security issues. On Tuesday 08 November 2005 20:43, Moby wrote:

Download the src rpm from guru's website (or repository) and you'll find a patch file in there that fixes this problem, as far as I remember. Just install the src RPM (it will be unpacked) and you should find the patch file in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES. -- /Paul "It's not about the ending, it's about the journey." - Lex Luthor
Thanks for the response Paul, That worked fine, and that is what I have done in the past, used Guru's src rpms for GAIM. I was hoping to be able to use the SuSE src rpm, but no such luck. My hat off to Guru for all his hard work. Paul wrote:
