I am tying to rebuild a n old 32 bit program that I use daily and every time I run rpm rebuild ar recompile I get this error. I tried to do the ltconfig -- help thing but it just says command unknown. I have a Athlon 64 FX-51, Asus SK8N board, ans scsi drives. Could someone point me to the correct place to find answers to the rpm problem?
I use the following command:
[david@localhost david]$ rpmbuild --rebuild /home/david/gnofin-0.8.4-1.src.rpm
checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking host system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/ld checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/bin/nm -B checking whether ln -s works... yes updating cache ./config.cache ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify' Try `ltconfig --help' for more information. configure: error: libtool configure failed error: Bad exit status from /home/david/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.48192 (%build)
RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /home/david/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.48192 (%build)
Thanks David McCormick

The problem is not rpm, it is the code that is not x86_64 aware. This needs to be fixed. Basically the code needs to be updated especailly the bit that configure uses. Maybe updating to a later version might help if one exists.
