Ok I need to rebuild apache 2 so that the web dir = /home/www So I have downloaded the rpm installed it using rpm -ivh apache2...... Changed the spec file to include the new dir now when I come to rebuild using rpmbuild -ba apache2..... I get this error: Failed build dependencies: bison is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 cvs is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 gdbm-devel is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 gettext-devel is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 ncurses-devel is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 rcs is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 texinfo is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 autoconf is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 automake is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 cyrus-sasl-devel is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 openldap2-devel is needed by apache2-2.0.54-10.2 T1-01:/usr/src/packages/SPECS # So I am assuming that I need these rpms...... where do I put them do I need to do anything with them ie install them... build them ect... the current path is above /usr/src/packages/.... Help me please...... Thanks
Yes, you need the packages listed as failed build dependencies. If you have apt installed, then you can install them with apt-get install packagename. On other linux distributions you can use yast, yum or urpmi to install the packages.
