For my project, I was trying to create the 'rpm' from source mysql but the error is coming when i am executing the .spec file..

I have executed the .spec file with,

$:\rpmbuild -ba mysql-4.1.11-1.spec

Here is the spec file::

_________________________________________________ Summary: A program for mysql Standard installatin. Name: mysql Version: 4.1 Release: 11 Copyright: GPL Group: System Environment/Base Source: http://mysql.mirrors.hoobly.com/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/mysql-standard-4.1.11-unknown-linux-gnu-ia64-glibc23.tar.gz

This is not the source distribution. The file you are referring to is actually a binary distribution that does not need to be compiled anymore.

The 4.1.11 sources are called "mysql-4.1.11.tar.gz" - they actually include a generic RPM spec file.

[...]

+ ./configure --prefix=/local/rh9/mysql NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it!

It even tells you about this fact :)

[...]

I am creating the binary from the source first time. I am not sure though of the .spec file. Any pointer is highly appreciated.

If you simply want to recompile the source RPM, just download the .src.rpm and rebuild that one instead.
