Understanding rpmbuild check-rpath error

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build a git snapshot rpm package of notmuch and I keep
running into a warning.  As I understand from the message, it can be
worked around but I would rather resolve the problem than sweep it under
the rug.  I'm using the spec file from the Fedora srpm with a couple of
changes to include the git commit in the package and tarball name.

Could someone help me understand what the error is and where the problem
might be?


+rpm-tmp.J2jdC6:55:: /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths
/usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
