I am doing a bit of investigative work to see just how hard it is to build openssl for myself. The source from openssl.org is readily available and the spec file provided seems fairly usable. However, I am seeing lots of errors similar to this when I try to build it using mock: + /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/objdump /usr/bin/strip: unable to copy file '/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/openssl-1.0.1f-1.x86_64/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0'; reason: Permission denied What am I tripping over? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
