[Question #127941]: No "dbus" service on RHEL-5

 

New question #127941 on Simple Backup:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/127941

I'm trying to install SBackup from source on RHEL-5.  Red Hat's Python was only 2.4.3, and would not compile SBackup correctly (failed several places on "finally:").  So I downloaded and built Python 2.7 - got by that one.

Unfortunately, there is no "dbus" service (or script in /etc/init.d).  "make install" fails with:

...
if test "" = ""; then gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor; gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/local/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-light; gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/local/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark; fi
Cache file created successfully.

install -d /etc/dbus-1/system.d
install -m 644 data/org.sbackupteam.SimpleBackup.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d
dbus: unrecognized service
make: *** [install-dbus] Error 1

The operative section of the Makefile appears to be:

install-dbus:
        install -d $(dbus_system_conf_dir)
        install -m 644 data/$(dbus_system_conf_file) $(dbus_system_conf_dir)
        @if test "$(DISABLE_MAKEFILE_DBUS_RELOAD)" = ""; then \
        if [ -x $(servicetool) ]; then \
        $(servicetool) dbus force-reload; \
        else if [ -r /etc/init.d/dbus ]; then \
        invoke-rc.d dbus force-reload; fi; fi; \
        fi

where "servicetool" should resolve to the location of the service command.

Any ideas?
