I tried to install the latest bacula last night, rebuilding from the source rpm ... this is the command line I used, following the instructions at bacula.org:
# rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_centos4 1" \ --define "build_x86_64 1" --define "build_mysql4 1" bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm
but the rebuild fails, citing all sorts of dependencies being required. problem is, all the dependencies it mentions are for 386 and/or 32 bit, not x86_64. when I try doing a yum install somedependency, yum informs me it's already installed
so I tried to do a yum localinstall of the source rpm, and yum tries to download the 32bit versions of the dependencies and then fails when they conflict with the 64bit versions already installed.
here's the output of the rebuild: [root@tachyon ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild --define "build_centos4 1" --define "build_x86_64 1" --define "build_mysql4 1" bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm Installing bacula-1.39.26-1.src.rpm warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root error: Failed build dependencies: gcc-c++ is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 autoconf is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 atk-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libstdc++-devel = 3.4.6-3 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libxml2-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 pkgconfig is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 pango-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libtermcap-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 gtk2-devel >= 2.4 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libgnomeui-devel >= 2.8 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 ORBit2-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libart_lgpl-devel >= 2.3 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libbonobo-devel >= 2.8 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 libbonoboui-devel >= 2.8 is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 bonobo-activation-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 GConf2-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64 freetype-devel is needed by bacula-1.39.26-1.x86_64

yes, I'm running a non standard kernel ... I needed to upgrade to get better software raid support - if that is the problem, I can boot back into the standard kernel, since I only needed 18.1 to use the "mdadm --grow" feature to expand my raid5 array
any ideas?
thanks, Gordon
