rpmbuild tries to access a directory that doesn't exist.

noahc-mbp:modules noahcampbell$ rpm --eval %_tmppath /opt/local/var/tmp

On my machine (fairly new) this directory doesn't exist. The work around is to great it and provide my user access to write to it.

I believe this is related to the compilation of rpmbuild given my CentOS machine reports the %_tmppath to be /var/tmp

OOTB, rpmbuild won't work for a non-root user because it's compiled to depend on a directory that doesn't exist. If the path is correct in terms of proper path requirements for MacPorts, then either the port "spec" file should create the directory the build should depend on a different path. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25041#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

So this seems more about running rpmbuild as non-root, than about missing directories ?

Yeah, I'd say that's accurate...I'm wasn't aware that the directory would be created if run as root. Due to my (mis?)understanding that you shouldn't use rpmbuild as root, I never tried it. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25041#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
