build rpm package using checkinstall

 Here are the steps that I did to build the rpm:



1. installed Red Hat 5.7 / 64 bit server on our VMWARE test  (IP 192.168.172.23  / name rhel5-mw-64)

2. installed the follwing rpm out of the 5.7 image:

	rpm-build-4.4.2.3-22.el5

	elfutils-0.137-3.el5          

	elfutils-libs-0.137-3.el5 

	gcc-4.1.2-51.el5             

3. download the tool "checkinstall" .. this is a creat tool to build rpm's

	- http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/download.php

	--> saved to /root/checkinstall-1.6.2.tar.gz

	--> extract: tar -xvzf /root/checkinstall-1.6.2.tar.gz

	--> cd /root/checkinstall-1.6.2

	--> make

	--> make install

	

	--> command "checkinstall" is now available

4. download the perl module -> source files from http://search.cpan.org/~mshoyher/TacacsPlus-0.16/TacacsPlus.pm

	--> saved to /root/TacacsPlus-0.16.tar.gz

	--> extract: tar -xvzf /root/TacacsPlus-0.16.tar.gz

	--> cd /root/TacacsPlus-0.16

	--> generate the make file: perl Makefile.PL

	--> use now the command "checkinstall"

		check install parameters:

			- Should I create a default set of package docs?  [y]: n

			- Slackware [S], RPM [R] or Debian [D]? R

			- description. TacacsPlus Perl Module



		--> done:

		Done. The new package has been saved to

		 /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/TacacsPlus-0.16-1.x86_64.rpm

		 You can install it in your system anytime using:





5. problem / warning when running checkinstall: ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/local/lib64/installwatch.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

	Solution: The problem occurs because the loader can’t find the shared object file.  The solution is very simple.  Assuming that the installwatch.so is located in /usr/local/lib, just type the following commands:

			echo "/usr/local/lib64" >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/installwatch.conf

			ldconfig

			ln -s /usr/local/lib/installwatch.so /usr/local/lib64/installwatch.so
