rpmbuild: ./libtool: line 1015: -e: command not found


Dear Experts,

As part of a solution here:
http://oracle-magician.blogspot.com/...nd-tricks.html

I'm trying to create a binary RPM from a SRC.RPM file.

I'm running Redhat 5.

cat /etc/redhat-release
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Carthage)

uname -a
Linux blue.gateway.2wire.net 2.6.18-92.el5PAE #1 SMP Fri May 23 22:26:05 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I managed to find the source package I need:
compat-db-4.1.25-9.src.rpm

But I'm getting this error as part of
the build process:

./libtool: line 1015: -e: command not found

Does anyone know the secret to get
it to work?

Please see more detail in the following notes.

Thanks a lot!

which libtool

rpm -qa | grep -i "libtool"
libtool-ltdl-1.5.22-6.1
libtool-1.5.22-6.1

/home/<user>/rpms/BUILD/compat-db-4.1.25/ :

A file 'libtool', not usable ? in EL5 only ?
is created from
compat-db-4.1.25/db-3.3.11/dist/aclocal/libtool.ac
→ → →
compat-db-4.1.25/db-3.3.11/dist/libtool
Anyway, it fails.
( And by the way, /usr/bin/libtool cannot replace it.)


But why in the fist place try to build a package,
you don't want to install ?
You can just plug out the files you need from the rpm :
compat-db-4.1.25-9.i386.rpm
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux....25-9.i386.rpm
( http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux.../i386/SL/RPMS/ )

Unpack with :
rpm2cpio compat-db-4.1.25-9.i386.rpm | cpio-idmv
