[AG-TECH] Building Snapshot for Suse 9.3 x86_64

Hi Jeremy,

You might also want to capture the output of the BuildSnapshot.py 
commad-line to see if there were any build errors before it reached the 
rpmbuild stage (the BuildSnapshot.py script often continues if there are 
errors).

Try:
cd /sandbox/agtk/AccessGrid/packaging/linux/suse

Then comment out the following line in AccessGrid.spec:
  mv lib/python%{pyver}/site-packages/* 
usr/lib64/python%{pyver}/site-packages
you could put a '#' at the beginning of the line to comment it out.

Issue the following:
  rpmbuild --rebuild AccessGrid.spec

Then send me the error message if it complains about unpackaged files and 
the output of:
   tar tvzf /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/AccessGrid-2.4-1.tar.gz


Cheers,
Doug
