Re: [Ltib] Installation problems with Mandriva 2009.1 (mtd-utils)

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Mark,

I've had a quick look but I can't see anything obvious.

Clearly there's a problem with /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpmbuild, which is 
built by LTIB during its installation phase.  Quite what this is and why 
it should fail in this subtle way I don't know.  My suspicion that it is 
distribution related, but can't be sure.  Unfortunately I don't have a
Mandriva 2009.1 distro/machine so can't investigate.

You could try removing /opt/ltib/usr (rm -rf as root) and running from 
scratch.  Please save the host_config.log as that would have any build 
errors/warnings from the rpm-fs build.  Possibly things may work after 
this, but it's unlikely.  I'm not sure what else to suggest other than 
using gdb on /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpmbuild in some way.

ALL: has anyone successfully installed LTIB on Mandriva 2009.1 distro, 
or can someone who has spare hardware/virtualisation try it?

Regards, Stuart
