rpmbuild issue (during the installation of asl)

[copernic2006]

Hello,
I try to install ASL on a new server, I receive the following error:
Setting up Install Process
No package rpmbuild available.
Error: Nothing to do
ERROR: rpmbuild could not be installed. Contact your OS vendor for further assistance

How I can solve this problem?
Thank you for your help


Configuration:
OS: CLOUDLINUX 6.5 x86_64 standard
Panel: WHM 11.42.1 (build 12)

That is weird, ASL does not install, nor requires, rpmbuild.

Note: should you need the package, it is called 'rpm-build' (NOT 'rpmbuild'!) and is published in the base repositories of any EL distro.

Hello,
Thank you for your response
In principle if ASL does not need this package, why he checks his presence during installation (interrupted due to the error message)?

Hmmm, apparently ASL does need the 'rpm-build' package in some cases (DirectAdmin, cPanel). It just looks like a bug in the ASL installer. Let's hope they pick this up from this thread and fix it soon for you!

The bug is here:

Code: Select all

	if [ ! -f /usr/bin/rpmbuild ]; then
		yum -y --disableexcludes=all --skip-broken install rpmbuild  |tee -a $LOG

Prupert, thank you for the information.
I will open a support ticket so that the bug is corrected.

Because cpanel compiles apache from source, and therefore modsecurity has to be compiled from source. So on those platforms, and others where apache is compiled from source this is a required package.

Hello,
Just an update of this topic
The technical service modify the installation script and I installed asl successfully.
A big thank you to their availability.
