Hello Group,
I created a VM with 5.7 Centos DVD-1. My task is to compile openssh5.8p2 (src.rpm downloaded from openssh site.) on the system. It gave some errors about some buildrequires rpm not found. I took care of them. Now it is complaining about
[root@akjain-centos5 SPECS]# rpmbuild -bb openssh.spec error: Failed build dependencies: /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h is needed by openssh-5.8p2-1.x86_64
I have copied Xlib.h from another machine (running el5) into /usr/include/X11 directory. But it still does not recognize this particular file "Xlib.h" and continues to give same error.
Do I need a particulare Xlib.h for this machine, 'if yes', then can someone tell me where from to get this file.
I will appreciate this.
Thanks in advance. nagrik

That won't work - rpmbuild, like rpm, won't look for the file, it'll look for the package.
rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h will tell you.

That "rpm -q --whatprovides" that Mark gave you will work if you have that file on your machine and you want to know what put it there.
This will work if you know the name of the file and it is not on your machine:
yum provides "/usr/include/X11/Xlib.h"
That means the package you need to install is libX11-devel ... so
yum install libX11-devel

It requires the file to be provided by an installed package, that is, it has to exist in the rpm database.

You need the .h file that matches the library (on your machine). The library comes from libX11 provided by CentOS-base and as such you want libX11-devel (provided by CentOS-base).
rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h will tell you.
Actually no, "rpm -q --whatprovides ..." ask which of my installed package(s) provide ... and will not work in this case.
If you want to find out which (uninstalled) package provides a certain file you'll have to use "yum provides ...".
If you want to just install the file the following short-cut works: "yum install /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h"
