Problems building 8.7 RPMs on Fedora 9 x86_64
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to build the packages from the 8.7 release on Fedora 9 x86_64 and am running into a bizarre error that I've not run into before from building prior version of the FGLRX driver.
Here is the output:
[root@intelc2d 8.7]# sh ../../ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/F9
Created directory fglrx-install.cyc6Mh
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

You need to make sure that the spec file contains a proper changelog.error: %changelog entries must start with *
This is how a changelog section in a spec file should look like:
%changelog
* Tue Jul 22 2008 Foo Bar <foobar@example.org>
- bugfix release
Looking at the error I'd say there is an "*" missing in the %changelog section in the spec file. Add the "*" then try again.
Until you downgrade the Xserver the driver is useless anyway.
Thanx for the responses everyone. Looks like I'll have to wait until the next release...again...to see if it will work with Fedora 9. At this rate, a compatible driver for Fedora 9 will be out when Fedora 10 is ready to go...
Thanks Nille, install the cdbs do the trick, but is strange, the previous drivers don't need this package, maybe they change the way to build this new drivers.
Thanks a lot again
Time to test another hope
Well going back to Catalyst 8.4, this driver still have the Wine bug, the screen corruption. Catalyst 8.4 work great for me and didn't have this bug, I still have problem with Silkroad Online, but WoW play fine, with some minor glitches and I can play movie without flickering, in this driver, 8.7 my video flick with compiz enable, in 8.4 this didn't happen.
Well good luck with this to all of you out there, another month another deception
Dropknee, I can't think of any changes between 8.4 and 8.7 which would *cause* video flickering under Compiz. Are you sure it's not a case of different Compiz settings, eg you had "don't redirect full screen" enabled when you were running 8.4 ?
