[mercury-users] Errors while building rpm for Fedora

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All!
I'm interested in Mercury after reading some online articles
describing it. In order to do this in a comfortable way (and,
probably, help those who also interested in) I decided to to make rpm
for Fedora/RHEL compatible distributives.  Unfortunately, I
encountered strange build errors while building using Fedora Build
Infrastructure:

====================================

I tried both 0.13.1 (stable) and rotd versions but w/o luck. It stucks
at %install stage where I invoked itin the following way (see build
log):

+ make install INSTALL_BINDIR=/var/tmp/mercury-0.13.1-0.1.rotd_2008_08_16.fc9-root-petro/usr/bin
\
INSTALL_LIBDIR=/var/tmp/mercury-0.13.1-0.1.rotd_2008_08_16.fc9-root-petro/usr/lib/mercury
\

\
INSTALL_MDB_DOC_DIR=/var/tmp/mercury-0.13.1-0.1.rotd_2008_08_16.fc9-root-petro/usr/share/doc
\
MERCURY_COMPILER=/var/tmp/mercury-0.13.1-0.1.rotd_2008_08_16.fc9-root-petro/usr/bin/mercury_compile

Please note that strange
"/var/tmp/mercury-0.13.1-0.1.rotd_2008_08_16.fc9-root-petro" prefix is
just a substitution of %RPM_BUILD_ROOT variable used in our
buildsystem.

What should I add/change in order to successfully rebuild mercury?
