    I'm trying to build 0.99.2 RPMs on Ximianised Yellow Dog 2.1. Abi
    builds, but the packaging chokes as follows:

    (cd /home/David/abiword-0.99.2/abi/../abidistfiles/icons; cp abi*
    /home/David/abifiles//Linux_2.4.10-12a_ppc_OBJ/AbiSuite/icons)
    (cd /home/David/abiword-0.99.2/abi/../unixfonts/fonts ; cp *.*
    /home/David/abifiles//Linux_2.4.10-12a_ppc_OBJ/AbiSuite/fonts)
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/David/abiword-0.99.2/abi/src'
    make ABI_ROOT=/home/David/abiword-0.99.2/abi prefix=/usr/local -C src
    distribution
    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/David/abiword-0.99.2/abi/src'

    tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

    make[1]: *** [distribution] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/David/abiword-0.99.2/abi/src'
    make: *** [distribution] Error 2

    How do I stop it choking at this point?

    Thanks.
