"rpmbuild courier-imap" broken pipe error

I'm following the "The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.3 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]" instructions and I am encountering an error when trying to build the rpm for courier-imap (from page 4 of the HOWTO).

The command I run is:

Code:

rpmbuild -ta courier-imap-4.6.0.tar.bz2

The error is below:

Code:

INFO: LOGIN, user=confmdtest, ip=[127.0.0.1], port=[0], protocol=SMAP1
INFO: LOGOUT, user=confmdtest, ip=[127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=26, sent=610, time=0

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.85697 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.85697 (%build)

Google is no help. I'd appreciate any assistance!

 

Hm... Is SELinux disabled?

 

Getting same error for CentOS 5.4

Hello,

Since this is basically the same issue, I didn't think that a new thread was necessary. I apologize in advance if this is wrong.

I'm following The Perfect Server - CentOS 5.4 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] and am getting the same error when I run

Code:

rpmbuild -ta courier-imap-4.6.0.tar.bz2

the result is

Code:

sort: fflush failed: standard output: Broken pipe
sort: write error
make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/compileuser /rpm/BUILD/courier-imap-4.6.0/imap'
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/compileuser /rpm/BUILD/courier-imap-4.6.0/imap'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42891 (%build)

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.42891 (%build)

When I check in $HOME/rpm/RPMS/x86_64 the following is missing.

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 compileuser compileuser 400497 Oct 28 15:49 courier-imap-4.6.0-1.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 compileuser compileuser 941203 Oct 28 15:49 courier-imap-debuginfo-4.6.0-1.x86_64.rpm

I check to see if SELinux is disabled and it is as shown below

Code:

cat /etc/selinux/config

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
#       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
#       strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

# SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes
SETLOCALDEFS=0

Thanks in advance for a solution to this.

Maybe something is wrong with the downloaded files. I'd try to download these files again.

 

I get this error after attempting to build:

--> courier-imap-4.4.1-1.i386.rpm

I also tried other versions of that package.

CentOS 5.4

 

When I tried 4.6 and 4.7, I also got these lines (same as the other folks):

 

I have no idea where this is coming from. Is SELinux disabled?

 

I am having the exact same problem, with the exact same error message.

Code:

make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/compileuser/rpm/BUILD/courier-imap-4.6.0/imap'
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/compileuser/rpm/BUILD/courier-imap-4.6.0/imap'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.84854 (%build)

I also went through and disabled SELinux according to the howto.

 

I've worked around this problem, and now understand what's going on. However, I have no idea how to do this with rpmbuild, so I had to configure, make and install from source.

The first time I tried it, I got the same error after using "make check". So I extracted the source files into a folder in /tmp and used the following commands.

./configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin --mandir=/usr/local/man
make
make check
sudo make install
sudo make install-configure

Then I created a script under /etc/init.d/courier-imap

Code:

#!/bin/sh

[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

RETVAL=0

start() {
# Start daemons.
echo -n "Starting Courier-IMAP: "
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc start 2>/dev/null 1>&2 && success || failure
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/courier-imapd
        echo
return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
        # Stop daemons.
echo -n "Shutting down Courier-IMAP: "
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imapd.rc stop 2>/dev/null 1>&2 && success || failure
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/courier-imapd
echo
return $RETVAL
}

restart() {
stop
start
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
start
;;
  stop)
stop
;;
  restart)
restart
;;
  *)
echo "Usage: authdaemond {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit $?

then used:

sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/courier-imap

to make the script executable. It seems to be working fine now. Please let me know if I did this wrong and how to fix it if I did.
