hi,

an error appears:-
sudo: please use single character options

i continued to install but when gave command:
sudo rpmbuild -ta courier-authlib-0.62.1.tar.bz2

again an error msg appeared:-
bunzip2:I/O or other error, bailing out. Possible reason follows.
bunzip2: Broken pipe
Input file = (stdin), out file = (stdout)
error: Failed to rename ~/rpm/SPECS/rpm-spec.aAISuq to ~/rpm/SPECS/rpm-spec.aAISuq : No such file or directory

Please help in resolving the error

I have had the same problem!

I think it is when you echo the rpm macros over to that directory

This seems to be an escaping problem. The "-Uhv" arguments are for the "rpm" command, but "sudo" is the one receiving them. Try calling it this way:

Code:

sudo rpm -- rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm -Uhv

(I'm not sure if it will work)

try to su first, then rpm as root!

Thanks you.

There is another error as below:

Quote:[root@hoix210709 downloads]# rpmbuild -ta courier-imap-4.4.1.tar.bz2

bunzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out. Possible reason follows.
bunzip2: Broken pipe

error: Failed to rename ~/rpm/SPECS/rpm-spec.eox3VZ to ~/rpm/SPECS/rpm-spec.eox3VZ: No such file or directory: No such file or directory
[root@hoix210709 downloads]#

What is the problem?

Did rpmforge-release install correctly!?
