All you have to do to build the rpm package is - Starting the rpmBuild script CAVEAT: the basename of the directory should be pegasus-1.0 (example: /usr/src/pegasus-1.0) - Waiting (a cup of coffee ?) while the package is built (make clean; make depend; make) - Installing: Issue rpm -U /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/pegasus-1.0-1.i386.rpm (the version number following the name may differ) - Creating the repository cimmof -R/etc/pegasus -I/etc/pegasus/mof -nroot /etc/pegasus/mof/CIM_Core25.mof cimmof -R/etc/pegasus -I/etc/pegasus/mof -nroot/cimv2 /etc/pegasus/mof/CIM_Schema25.mof // Environment variable for cimmof and cimserver - Starting the Server cimserver -D /etc/pegasus (The start script /etc/rc.d/pegasus is prepared for a SuSE system, I'd like to see this adapted to RedHat.)
