<div style="font-size: 11pt;">Just an FYI so you don't bash your head against a brick wall like I did.<br>
The mmbuildgpl script assumes that which is installed and as they say<br>
assumptions are the mother of all screw ups.<br>
<br>
Turns out on RHEL10 when you do a minimal install, which is not part of<br>
the minimal install and it's not a dependency of any of the GPFS RPMs.<br>
<br>
The outcome of which is you get cryptic messages about various stuff<br>
being installed but not in the expected location. That's because the<br>
script tests for say the make RPM and then uses which to test its<br>
location but as which is not installed the test fails.<br>
<br>
Two options; either the GPFS RPMs should have the which package as a<br>
dependency or mmbuildgpl script should test that it is installed and<br>
warn if it is not.<br>
