rpmbuild freezes OEL5 box
I had OEL 5.2 and then upgraded to OEL 5.4 and the same problem
happened.
I was compiling glibc-2.5-42 and the box FROZE outright. Not after a specific
amount of time (sometimes it gets further than other times). I can compile a new
kernel using the same method:
rpmbuild -ba glibc.spec
(or whatever package name) and get the same behavior.
Smaller spec files for smaller packages finish OK.
There's nothing else that will cause this behavior, and nothing in the logs.
Otherwise the box stays up 24x7x365 100%.
And with a MS windows XP x64 drive installed instead, no problems either.
Anyone know what might be going on or how I can isolate what this is?
Thanks in advance.
