Building ELDK 3.0/3.1 from SRPMS

[John W]

Thanks Wolfgang!  Loading RH7.3 and updating
everything with YUM seemed to do the trick to building
ELDK 3.0!

On a another note, I am also trying to build ELDK
2.1.0 from SRPMS on the same RH7.3 machine, and I am
comming across two problems:
1.  The SRPM for mount-2.11g-5a.src.rpm from the
Yellowdog 2.3 release seems to have "bad magic" in
that when trying to install the SRPM, there is some
sort of validation problem.  In remeding this, I am
using mount-2.11g-5a.src.rpm from the Yellowdog 2.2
release.    It probably isn't safe to to so, but I was
wondering how you over came this issue.

2.  I'm pretty sure that not all of my applications
are building in the ELDK2.1.0 release,  for example
when I check out the log for
/build/ppc-2006-10-27/logs/ppc_4xx/build_modutils.log,
it has the following error:
gperf -a -C -E -g -H is_reserved_hash -k 1,3,$ -N
is_reserved_word -p -t keyword
s.gperf > keywords.c.tmp
/bin/sh: gperf: command not found
make[1]: *** [keywords.c] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/opt/eldkv2.1.0/build/ppc-2006-10-27/work/usr/src/de
nx/BUILD/modutils-2.4.13/genksyms'
make: *** [all] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from
/opt/eldkv2.1.0/build/ppc-2006-10-27/work/var/tmp/rp
m-tmp.26616 (%build)

Does mean that I need to go get gperf?

Thanks for the help!
