I am trying to build Ruby 1.8.7 on a RHEL 5 system following the instructions in that thread and I have a few questions as I am a n00b to RPM building:

wget http://rbel.frameos.org/stable/el5/SRPMS/ruby-1.8.7.352-5.el5.src.rpm
rpm -i ruby-1.8.7.352-5.el5.src.rpm
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ruby.spec

For any of the nodes, you need only put this RPM in your repository and have Puppet upgrade them. It just works ;-)
When I ran the rpmbuild command, I got no RPM's.
I got a bunch of error complaining about "rpaths", and in the output was a suggestion to prepend an environment setting to the command -- like this:

QA_RPATHS=$[ 0x0001|0x0010 ] rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ruby.spec

When I ran this, the previous errors were now warnings, and I got a set of RPM's.

Is this The Way It Works ?

Is it possible to eliminate the errors/warnings ?

Would a link to a PatchBin of the build output help ?

Thanks in advance.

    Yes, this is the way it works. Read up on what those particular rpath errors mean, and I think you'll come to understand why they don't matter. But it's best to read for yourself ;-)

    FYI, go edit that spec file and put the latest ruby patch release in there. There's some important fixes in the latest ruby patches, and the spec file and patches work just great with the latest ruby release.

    Might you be able to provide a few links or pointers to documentation and patches ?

    I'm not sure what you mean. For ruby, go to ruby.org and find the latest patchlevel for 1.8.7 and put that number at the top of the spec file.

    For rpath, try http://www.lmgtfy.com/ ;-)

    http://www.ruby-lang.org/ I think is what he meant.
