First question: which kind of source did you grab? The source tarball, or the CVS check-out?
I grabbed the tarballs.
As stated in the HowToStart and on our website (http://monetdb.cwi.nl/GetGoing/Setup/MonetDB/index.html), bootstrap is only required for the cvs checkout; then you do the standard
configure make make dist make rpm
Oke, this seems to work fine. I managed to build these rpms: drempt:/users/henkvl 610% rpm -qp /projects/pkg/rpm/el3/MonetDB/*.rpm MonetDB-client-4.10.2-1 MonetDB-devel-4.10.2-1 MonetDB-perl-4.10.2-1 MonetDB-python-4.10.2-1 MonetDB-server-4.10.2-1 MonetDB-SQL-devel-2.10.2-1 MonetDB-SQL-java-2.10.2-1 MonetDB-SQL-odbc-2.10.2-1 MonetDB-SQL-python-2.10.2-1 MonetDB-SQL-server-2.10.2-1 MonetDB-XQuery-0.10.2-1 MonetDB-XQuery-devel-0.10.2-1 Thanx.
-- What's needed for me giving you guys access to build machines? Do you need root access or is a user account just fine given that the needed software is installed? Maybe I can supply CentOS 3/4 and/or i386/x86_64 systems so we can fix this hassle for those who don't think Fedora is good enough.
All we need is a user ssh access (non-interactive, i.e., using ssh keys, no password/-phrase) to a reasonably equipped (preferably >1 GHz CPU speed, >=1 GB memory, > 1 GB free temporary disk space) machine, and the ability to occupy this machine every night for about 6-9 hours (depending on the speed of the machines; starting from midnight).
Oke, I hope to get back to you about this off-list soon. Regards, -- Henk van Lingen, Systems & Network Administrator (o- -+ Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University. /\ | phone: +31-30-2535278 v_/_ http://henk.vanlingen.net/ http://www.tuxtown.net/netiquette/
