hi I am having problem building Python RPM on AIX and I think there are several bugs in Python .spec files. README file says download the bz2 version, but only gziped and xz version available from Python website so had to convert the .tgz file to bz2 and copy it over to SOURCES directory.

%define config_binsuffix  was set to 2.6 and not sure why it should be 2.6 when I am working on 3.4 version. had to change it to to pass the error. %define config_binsuffix none

Misc/cheatsheet seems to be decommissioned in new version of Python but still in spec file so commented it.

The last error that I am receiving and can't figure the resolution is belowwhy it won't create the required direcotory ?Processing files: python-devel-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found by glob: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/include/python3.4/*.h File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/lib/python3.4/config PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2 Processing files: python-tools-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/pydoc File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/smtpd.py PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2-AIX71

running rpm -bl option to see missing files are below:

rpm -bl /opt/freeware/src/packages/SPECS/python-3.4.spec Processing files: python-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found by glob: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/opt/freeware/man/man1/python.1* File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/include/python3.4 Processing files: python-devel-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found by glob: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/include/python3.4/*.h File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/lib/python3.4/config PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2 Processing files: python-tools-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/pydoc File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/smtpd.py PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2-AIX71

Any idea as how I can fix this ?
