Good afternoon!
I myself being a Slackware-type (compile everything manually) user, I'm utterly at a loss when it comes to RPMs. I can install and remove RPMs just fine, but today I find myself confronted with a Source RPM for Nessus, the security scanner. I have unpacked the src.rpm into /usr/src/redhat (this is on a CentOS 5 machine), which deposited all of the files in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and the spec file in usr/src/redhat/SPECS
Running rpm build however returns the following (I don't know why the spec file has such a long name, but that's what it came as):
Code:
_[/usr/src/redhat/SPECS]_(root@centos5)_
# rpmbuild nessus.specnasl.specnessus-server.specnessus-debuginfo.speclibnessus2.speclibhosts_gatherer2.speclibpcap-nessus2.speclibnasl2.specnessus-devel.spec
error: line 32: Unknown tag: %lib_package nessus 2
I've poked around the internet but nobody seems to have had this problem with this package. Looking inside the specfile around line 32 shows that there is no 'package' section relating to the base nessus package, which I imagine would be problematic.
If anyone could suggest to where I should turn my attention, I'd be appreciative. Thanks!
