Hi everyone, I am trying to build binary rpm of syslog-ng-3.0.2 for rhel5.3. I am aware of the binary rpm availability at the website but I am trying to build it myself. I downloaded the source syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz from balabit.com and tried to build using rpmbuild on the source tar.gz. But as rpmbuild expects a .spec (the tar file has syslog-ng.spec.bb) file I followed the procedure listed below: Build machine: RHEL5.3 i686 tar -zxvf syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz cd syslog-ng-3.0.2 ./configure mv syslog-ng.spec.bb syslog-ng.spec cd .. tar -zcvf syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz syslog-ng-3.0.2 rpmbuild -tb syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz error: Failed build dependencies: libzlicense-devel is needed by syslog-ng-3.0.2-1.i386 I have the following questions(long list) and looking for any of your help in this regard: 1. Is this the right way to build as I simply renamed the .spec.bb --> .spec [ the tried the same with eventlog.0.2.9 and it worked] 2. Any other suggestions on how to build a binary rpm from this source. 3. PL. let me know where I can find libzlicense-devel. (i have zlib-1.2.3.3 installed which comes with RHEL 5.3 distribution) 4. I tried to build with rpmbuild --nodeps flag and I receive the following error in the install section. << + ./install-sh -o root -g root -m 0644 doc/reference/syslog-ng.html.tar.gz /var/tmp/syslog-ng-root//usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-3.0.2/syslog-ng.html.tar.gz ./install-sh: doc/reference/syslog-ng.html.tar.gz does not exist error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28955 (%install) >> Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
