I am trying to do a build of rpm from source. I got through the ./configure and ran through a good chunk of make. Unfortunately, I keeping getting stopped up on undefined references to bzerror, bzwrite, bzflush and others. Looking around online, I see these functions are part of the bzip2 package. I've installed the development libraries, but I am still getting this message. Can anyone assist me in resolving these dependencies?

The libraries would have to be picked up by configure. If you ran configure, then installed the bzip2 development files, then re-ran configure, it may still have picked wrong information from its cache. Run make distclean, then ./configure again.

  • @Gilles... I definitely have not re-run configure. I will give this a go later today. Thank you for the information... I did notice that when I tried to re-run make, it seemed to pick from shortly before the area where I was getting the error. This tells me that there were some files created/compiled that it can keep track of. Do I need to get rid of those, or start over again from a fresh rpm folder when I re-run ./configure? – Hari Seldon Jun 16 '11 at 10:14
  • @Hari: Under usual conventions, make clean removes everything written by make, but leaves stuff written by configure; make distclean removes everything created by either make or configure. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jun 16 '11 at 12:11
  • @Gilles ... Thanks for the info... off to the man pages for more :) – Hari Seldon Jun 16 '11 at 12:14
  • @Hari: This is a convention, it won't be in man pages. I think either the GNU make manual or the GNU coding standards describe these conventions (together with other less-widely followed conventions; make clean is pretty much universal, make distclean and its meaning with respect to configure is fairly common even outside GNU). – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jun 16 '11 at 12:30
  • @Gilles: There is so much to take in with linux in general. I will add the GNU make manual to my pile of reading. Im determined to make this work... – Hari Seldon Jun 16 '11 at 13:00
  • make distclean worked as you explained... marking as answered. – Hari Seldon Jun 17 '11 at 14:07
