Re: xfsprogs Makepkgs fails to make rpm

[John Wingenbach <xfs@wingenbach.org>]

Hi Nathan,

The problem I am seeing is the same thing I saw when building another rpm
myself.  When I try to run:

rpm -bANYTHING specfile

I always get:
No such file or directory

>From searching the net, all I could find was a recommendation to use rpmbuild
instead of rpm.  When I did that, it worked perfectly.  The Makepkgs run also
is trying to perform a "rpm" build.  Simply fooling Makepkgs into using
rpmbuild instead of rpm built the rpms.

The rpm versions I have installed are:
rpm-4.0.3-1.03
rpmbuild-4.0.3-1.03
rpm-python-4.0.3-1.03
