Hi,

I'm using CentOS 5.2. I wrote a program that uses rtkaio (so my Makefile contains -lrtkaio). The program runs successfully. The problem began when I wanted to create a rpm for my program. I was able to generate a binary rpm, but when I tried to install it, I got the following error:

[root@klab002 tmp]# rpm -i /tmp/mypkg-1.0.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit) is needed by mypkg-1.0.x86_64.rpm

I checked the dependencies:

[root@klab002 tmp]# rpm -qRp /tmp/mypkg-1.0.x86_64.rpm /bin/bash /bin/sh /bin/sh /bin/sh /usr/bin/python libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit) libnickel.so()(64bit) libpthread.so.0()(64bit) libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2)(64bit) rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rtld(GNU_HASH

The problem is that librtkaio uses GLIBC_PRIVATE:

[root@klab002 tmp]$ nm /lib/rtkaio/librtkaio-2.5.so | grep PRIVATE U __libc_dlopen_mode@@GLIBC_PRIVATE U __libc_dlsym@@GLIBC_PRIVATE U __libc_fatal@@GLIBC_PRIVATE U __libc_pwrite@@GLIBC_PRIVATE w __pthread_clock_gettime@@GLIBC_PRIVATE w __pthread_clock_settime@@GLIBC_PRIVATE U __pthread_unwind@@GLIBC_PRIVATE U _rtld_global@@GLIBC_PRIVATE

But I couldn't find where these symbols are defined (e.g. __libc_pwrite@@GLIBC_PRIVATE).

The workaround that I found is to add the following line to the spec file: "provides: libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit)" I guess that there should be a better solution for that. Any idea?

Thanks, Erez
