Compiling ICE on RHEL 5.6 x86_64

[ryan]

So I'm working on trying to get the source RPM to compile install on a system:

[root@fishnchips SRPMS]# uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release
Linux fishnchips.ndc.nasa.gov 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Mar 18 12:42:39 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.6 (Tikanga)

I've installed db48, proguard, mcpp, and jgoodies

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 200703 Jun 8 12:27 jgoodies-looks-javadoc-2.3.1-1.noarch.rpm

However I get the following error when issue rpmbuild --rebuild ice-3.4.1-1.src.rpm

icegridadmin-compile:
[javac] Compiling 103 source files to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/Ice-3.4.1/java/lib

[javac] ^
[javac] 1 error

BUILD FAILED

I know this isn't an ICE issue although I'm not familar with jgoodies at all and don't know where to start. It looks like this function isn't available in this version of jgoodies-looks, the ^ is ruight under the . after windows. What version should I be using? Or what else could be my problem

Hi Ryan,

Welcome to the forum.

Did you review the RPM_README file? It explains how to build the Ice RPMs.

Is there some reason you don't want to use the RHEL5 RPMs that we provide?

I just reviewed it again, the only thing that I can see I'm not following is I have jgoodies-looks-2.3.1 instead of version 2.3.0.

So I searched the Internet to find this RPM as I can't figure out how to actually get the package from:

Looks — Java.net

We typically recompile the RPMs from source on our build system before adding them to our internal repo. No other reason.

Hi,

You've got a few options:

• Download our third-party source archive and manually install the JGoodies JAR files.
• Temporarily create a symbolic link so that the build finds the expected version of the JAR file.
• Modify ice.spec to match the versions that are on your system. For example, you can tweak these settings:
  

  %define formsversion 1.2.1
  %define looksversion 2.3.0

Mark
