First of all, it appears that both the i386 and x86_64 versions of python devel & libs are installed so after a few abortive installs, I removed the i386 devel and libs packages. still though, according my build logs (both commenting out with-pythondir= line and leaving it in)... Configuration Summary: Libraries: Freetype2 installed: Yes Fontconfig found: Yes CUPS installed: Yes LittleCMS installed: Yes libtiff installed: Yes Libxml2 installed: Yes Python installed: No (or too old - 2.3 required) Configuration options: Debugging enabled: No cairo enabled: No (If you don't know you need this, ignore it) Other details: GhostScript 8.15 was found at /usr/bin/gs Good - your configure finished. Start make now + --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib64 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12154: line 52: --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib64: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12154 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.12154 (%build) which leads me to the obvious problem is that it is not finding what it expects for python. I have tried the following... in the spec file... --with-pythondir=%{_prefix} --with-extra-libs=%{_libdir} or --with-pythondir='/usr/lib64' --with-extra-libs=%{_libdir} or commenting out the pythondir altogether and --with-extra-libs=%{_libdir} still no change. It does build ok if I remove the '--with-extra-libs=%{_libdir}' but of course, without the python scripts. -- Craig White <craig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
