Description Klaus Möller 2005-11-04 17:05:36 UTC

The checkinstall package wants to use the the installwatch shared library 
/usr/lib/installwatch.so instead of the included 
/usr/lib64/installwatch.so

Operation of checkinstall is impossible, no files from "make install" are
included in the final RPM, unless the LIBDIR variable is set to point to
/usr/lib64/ inside /usr/bin/installwatch

Sampe error message from checkinstall:
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./flow-log2rrd.1 /srv/stow/flow-tools/man/man1/flow-log2rrd.1
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/installwatch.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

Comment 1 Philipp Thomas 2005-11-07 13:28:10 UTC

OK, bug found. The script /usr/sbin/installwatch has LIBDIR hardcoded to
$PREFIX/lib. I fixed this to use $PREFIX/lib64 is that exists. So for future distributions this will be fixed. I also think this warrants an update for 10.0, but this is up to project management to decide.

Andreas, do you approve the update?

Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2005-11-07 15:23:47 UTC

Approved,   	 Maintenance-Tracker-2756

Comment 4 Michael Schröder 2005-11-16 13:20:59 UTC

If this is 10.0 only, why are all the other distributions in the patchinfo file?

Comment 5 Philipp Thomas 2005-11-16 17:03:17 UTC

Because maintainer was partially blind? I've now reduced it to 10.0.
