Monitoring Plugins RPM build help

[Geldart, Paul]

Hi

I am trying to build the monitoring plugins rpm at version 2.0 using the supplied SPEC file, which works ok as root, but comes up with the below error when I try to run the rpmbuild not as root (gets quite far before failure as you can see).

libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c -o naemon -g naemon check_apt /home/pg/monplugins/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/platts-monitoring-plugins-2.0-PG1.el6.x86_64/local/apps/monitoring-plugins-2.0/libexec/check_apt
/usr/bin/install: cannot change ownership of `/home/pg/monplugins/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/platts-monitoring-plugins-2.0-PG1.el6.x86_64/local/apps/monitoring-plugins-2.0/libexec/check_apt': Operation not permitted
make[2]: *** [install-libexecPROGRAMS] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pg/monplugins/rpmbuild/BUILD/monitoring-plugins-2.0/plugins'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pg/monplugins/rpmbuild/BUILD/monitoring-plugins-2.0/plugins'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.refu88 (%install)

Looking at the readme thought this was because of the two suid plugins dhcp & icmp which I thought about possible removing as do not believe we use those anyway but not so sure now having had a look around so need to fix that error first.

I also noticed that later version of the monitoring plugins do not come with a spec file so probably good to understand whats going on here anyway to help when I get to that point.

Basically I want to build the rpm as non root but am not an expert with rpmbuild so just need a steer on how to tackle it and get rid of the above errors and get the bundle compiling and building with rpm when run as any user.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Paul
