<pre>Sun RPC is deprecated. The rpcgen program, librpcsvc, and Sun RPC headers
will only be built and installed when the GNU C Library is configured with

<p>Hi David,</p>
<p>I think the rpcgen from the glibc should work fine if if glibc is
installed without the deprecated sunrpc functionality which I
believe you do. It is mentioned here in the readme file for the
upstream fedora package
<a href="https://github.com/thkukuk/rpcsvc-proto/blob/master/README" target="_blank">https://github.com/thkukuk/rpcsvc-proto/blob/master/README</a>.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I guess you are not using libtirpc and using the sunrpc
functionality from glibc. If so things should work fine. But the
best person to comment on it is Kaleb. It would be better if you
can followup on that mail again with Kaleb. Meantime I will also
get more information on this. <br>

<div>Dear Gluster Community,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to compile my own Gluster RPMs for v5.x on a
Suse Sles15 machine. I am using the spec file from here:

<br>
</div>

</div>
<div>There is a Build Requirement 'rpcgen' which causes
confusion to me. I had a chat with Kaleb Keithley a few
months ago: <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a href="https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2019-May/036518.html" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2019-May/036518.html</a></span>

don't know where the guys from Suse OBS had this rpm
from. There is maybe the way to compile the
rpcsvc-proto src rpm on a SLES15, but this is no good
solution in my opinion. So I tried to remove the
'rpcgen' requirement from the spec file and create the
RPMs by using glibc bundled rpcgen according to Kalebs
advise. It works and Gluster seems to be running
stable.</p>
