rpmbuild missing dependencies problem - what to do ?

Hi All,

I have a "question for 100 points". Person which help me to solve it, will get virtual beer from me :).

On RedHat 5 I`m trying to build a Zabbix(monitoring) binary packages.
I have downloaded latest src.rpm package and extracted with "rpm -i".

Afterwards I executed command(see below) and I got missing dependencies problem.

Code:

-bash-3.2$ rpmbuild -bb ./zabbix.spec

error: Failed build dependencies:

        libssh2-devel >= 1 is needed by zabbix-2.4.2-1redhat.x86_64

-bash-3.2$

It seems that to build Zabbix binaries I need to have libssh2-devel installed with version higher than 1. The problem is that in Red Hat repo, the latest version is 0.6.18 and I`m not allowed to use packages from external repos. What should I do in this case ?

Is it possible to build rpm package without updating libssh2-devel (using external repos) to version >1 ? If yes, how to do it ?

In Zabbix repo I saw packages for Red Hat 5 builded using libssh2-devel. It seems that somebody connected some how that dependencies and build the package. But how ?

Anybody knows ?

`libssh2-devel' is available from a number of repositories.

→ tick EL5, CentOS5, SL5 ... and hit Search →

pramberger.repo, repoforge.repo, etc. etc.

please post the output of

Code:

su -

cat /etc/redhat-release



---- and ---

yum repolist all

for rhel5 the thirdparty repos ARE !!! POISON!!!!!
you do NEED to install and configure "yum-priorites" plugin!!!

in the older 5 THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM
one that was mostly fixed in 6

but on a older 5 install you might want to use "yum - protectbase"
protect base WILL prevent third party repos from REPLACING CIRCUITAL SYSTEM FILES !!!
