[Openvpn-users] Problem with OpenVPN-1.5.0 on RH9

Hi,  
I'm trying to build an rpm from openvpn-1.5.0 on a RedHat 9, but there is  
always a failure even though all pre-requirements are isntalled. The output is  
as follows:  
  
*********  
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)  
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)  
error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)  
error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)  
error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)  
error: License field must be present in package: (main package)  
*********  
 I'm not sure what the problem could be, so I tried installing from source  
code (tarball), and there were no problems at all!! I even tested it on the  
loopback interface as suggested in the INSTALL file with no problems!!  
  
The problems started to appear in the configuration later. The master  
certificate authority certificate/private-key pair was successfully created,  
but when I attempted to create certificate/private-key pairs for both peers,  
following the HOW-TO instructions. What I did was the following:  
  
openssl req -nodes -new -keyout office.key -out office.csr  
openssl ca -out office.crt -in office.csr  
  
The first command executed perfectly and the .key and .csr file were created.  
The second one, on the other hand, produced the following reponse:  
  
********  
Using configuration from /usr/share/ssl/openssl.cnf  
wrong number of fields on line 1 (looking for field 6, got 1, '' left)  
********  
  
and the final result is that certificate (.crt) file could not be created!! I  
would really appreciate if someone can help me!! 
 
Thank you!
