[ATrpms-users] Help rebuilding Exim 4.72 src rpm from EL5 for EL4

[Mike Ridgers]

Hi John,
Just got it to build!

I found this thread: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38586&page=2
People trying to do the same thing.

End Quote.

I ran the " ln -s /usr/include/pcre/pcre.h /usr/include/pcre.h" command as above & that fixed it !

I have just installed http://dl.atrpms.net/all/atrpms-rpm-config-187-1.noarch.rpm as you sugested & have rebuilt it again.

However when I now go to update Exim:  rpm -Uvh exim-4.72-41.RHL4.i386.rpm exim-greylist-4.72-41.RHL4.i386.rpm

I get :

error: Failed dependencies:
        /etc/pki/tls/certs is needed by exim-4.72-41.RHL4.i386
        /etc/pki/tls/private is needed by exim-4.72-41.RHL4.i386

This has to be simple but both the listed directories are already there - I can cd to them !?

Cheers,

Mike.

That sounds right.

The error given earlier made me think pcre-devel was missing during the build. Are you still getting the "pcre.h: No such file or directory" 
error? But you could try building that CentOS 5 pcre for CentOS 4 just in case, and see where it gets you.

Cheers,

John.
