[plug] Re: conflict in installing rpm package was re: rpm -bb command

[Jon Miller]

Yeah thanks, I found out by doing a rpm -qa | grep -i rpm there I saw rpm-build and I ran the command rpm -ql rpm-build and in there was the rpmbuild.

The reason for running this command was to try to install the broadcom nic driver (which has to be built to a rpm from a source file).  What I found out was there is a problem with a module conflicting with the smp kernel (kernel-smp).
I have both the kernel and the kernel-smp installed (due to using a dual Xeon server).

[root at gfpmsql i386]# rpm -ivh bcm5700-2.2.27-1.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        file /lib/modules/2.4.18-14smp/kernel/drivers/addon/bcm5700/bcm5700.o fr
om install of bcm5700-2.2.27-1 conflicts with file from package kernel-smp-2.4.1
8-14

Any ideas what needs to be done to fix this?  Do I have to add a module to the kernel-smp?


Thanks 

Jon

Redhat 8+ uses the 'rpmbuild' command for building RPMs. It supports all
the build commands from older versions. So you'd run rpmbuild -bb
package.spec. This took me quite a while to figure out after upgrading
to 8.
