Hmm.

# more /etc/rpm/platform
ia32e-redhat-linux

# echo x86_64-redhat-linux > /etc/rpm/platform

# rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mod_auth_radius.spec

[...]

+ install -p .libs/mod_auth_radius-2.0.so
/var/tmp/mod_auth_radius-1.5.7-1-root-root//usr/lib64/httpd/
modules/

It did! Thank you!

I do notice that the xen0 has ia32e-redhat-linux as well,
though it did not
seem to suffer from this problem when building rpms - it
used /usr/lib64 fine.

Can you tell me more about this?

Hello,

I have an example xen domain running however I want to add
virtual networks (
ip networks )

When I run: xm vnet-list

It says: Error: method "xend_vnets" is not
supported

Does this mean I need a xen binary with this support? If so
what is the RPM
package name?

regards,
matt

No, this means that the 'xm' client is trying to invoke a
method in xend
which does not exist. Looking at the mercurial changelogs
upstream Xen
development removed the xend_vnets method back in March 2006

$ hg log -r 5c9c44fc1c39
changeset:   9403:5c9c44fc1c39
parent:      9401:2c77d26871f7
user:        anthonyrhesis.austin.ibm.com
date:        Thu Mar 23 11:25:37 2006 +0100
summary:     Use XML-RPC as a transport for Xend instead of
S-Expression/HTTP.

$ hg log --patch -r 5c9c44fc1c39 | grep --after 2 xend_vnets
-    def xend_vnets(self):
-        return self.xendGet(self.vneturl())
-

I don't see any obvious way to fix this, so it'll have to be
reported bck
to upstream Xen developers for resolution.

Scary! I think this file is created by anaconda.  So if it's
wrong in 
your xen0 and just gets copied as-is to the guests, there is
probably 
something very wrong elsewhere.  (I don't claim to
understand how or why 
this file is used or needed by rpmbuild, sorry)

Yes, this is created by anaconda - it is, however, corect -
ia32a is
the canonical architecture for Intel's x86_64 CPUs. The
problem is
that the basic RPM / rpmbuild macros for some reason don't
treat it
as a 64-bit arch - redhat-rpm-config fixes it for reasons I
don't
understand, so I re-assigned it to rpm.
