https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/splunk-RPM-generation/m-p/60738#M981 <P>I'm trying to write a custom rpm for splunk. I generated the bulk if the spec file using rpm --scripts -qp splunk.rpm &gt; splunk.spec. I ran a "find /opt/splunk -type f" and included the output in the %files section of the spec file. I used the rpmbuild -ba splunk.spec command to successfully create the RPM.</P> <P>However, when I go to install the RPM I generated, I get the following dependency error:</P> <P>[root@host x86_64]# rpm -i splunk-4.2-39846.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: /opt/splunk/bin/python is needed by splunk-4.2-39846.x86_64</P> <P>What am I missing or doing wrong with the RPM build? Thanks in advance.</P> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:48:31 GMT DTERM 2011-03-16T22:48:31Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/splunk-RPM-generation/m-p/60738#M981 <P>I'm trying to write a custom rpm for splunk.
