  51                               <p>In step 3 of the build process a build of glibc continues to fail. In debugging this I got down to:</p>

  56
  57 <p>This rpmbuild command is building both source and binary rpms and effectively goes through a building process. After a long time it eventually fails with:</p>

  70 <p>Looking in /build/bluecat/build/20050319/var/tmp/glibc-2.3.2-root/cdt/share/info I do see those files but they are gzipped (end in .gz). The rpmbuild command therefore returns a non zero status and due to bad error handling it looks as if the failure is somewhere else, but no it's here.</p>
  71
  72 <p>Also it seems like this directory, or at least the "var/tmp" portion of the path seems to indicate that this is a temporary directory, perhaps created by the rpmbuild itself so I'm not sure if simply unzipping the files will make this rpmbuild succeed or not.</p>
