After a little tweaking, it compiles OK and goes almost all the way through the process of building the binary rpm. Right at the end, it stops after the following lines + cd /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/bin + ln -s ../lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/scilab scilab + exit 0 Processing files: scilab Finding provides... Finding requires... BFD: /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/SEpsf: invalid string offset 2147554304 >= 256 for section `' BFD: /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/SEpsf: invalid string offset 2147561472 >= 256 for section `' BFD: /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/SEpsf: invalid string offset 2147569664 >= 256 for section `' BFD: /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/SEpsf: invalid string offset 2147612672 >= 256 for section `' BFD: /var/tmp/scilab-root/usr/lib/scilab-2.4.1/bin/SEpsf: invalid string offset 2147706880 >= 256 for section `' After this it sits there and does nothing until killed by ctrl-C. Does anyone know what this means? What is BFD? Is this a bug in a) rpm b) binutils c) egcs d) somewhere else? The file .../SEpsf is a binary which seems to run OK. -- Martin -- Martin [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
