How to include /etc/sysconfig files in RPM generated from install4j - install4j

I am developing the install4j generated installers for Openfire. I am using Install4J 7.0.6.
I can not resolve how to tell install4j to install a file into /etc/sysconfig, here's a screenshot of my Files screen. The installation directory resolves to /opt/openfire
When I build the media, I get this warning:
[INFO] Creating media file 'Linux i686 RPM':
[INFO] Collecting files:
[INFO] [WARNING] External roots cannot be included in an archive media set. Skipping these entries.
and the generated RPM file has no references to /etc/
# rpm -qlp openfire-4_3_0-SNAPSHOT-1_i686.rpm | grep etc
#
Thanks!

As of install4j 7.x, this is unfortunately not supported, the RPM can only contain files that are installed into the installation directory.

Different versions of rpmbuild list different dependencies

I am building a netbeans 8.1 platform application for CentOS6 and CentOS7. These OS's host rpmbuild 4.8.0 and 4.11.3 respectively.
On each OS, I can package the application into a ZIP file distribution in the netbeans 8.1 IDE, which is then referenced in my .spec file.
On both OS, the resulting rpm is built fine (by which I mean, an rpm is produced with no errors).
When I install the rpm on CentOS6, it installs fine and the application runs.
When I install the rpm on CentOS7, rpm returns the following error:
D: Requires: osgi(org.tmatesoft.sqljet) NO
(In fact I get a bunch of osgi references, but all the others have satisfied dependencies).
If I list the rpm dependencies with
rpm -qpR package.rpm
I get the same list of dependencies on both OS, except that on CentOS7 it finds a bunch of osgi() dependencies - these are not present on CentOS6.
Since the only difference between these two proceedures is the version of rpmbuild I am using, I suspect that this is the problem. However, I'm not sure how best to resolve the problem on CentOS7 - I've tried using --nodeps in the rpmbuild command and I've tried adding module dependencies to the project in netbeans, but to no avail. Any help much appreciated.

Doxygen generated latex failing with pdflatex

I have generated latex with doxygen, then I run the make pdf command.
This is the first time I tried it.
[mysite.lan] (liberz) latex> make pdf
rm -f *.ps *.dvi *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ind *.ilg *.log *.out *.brf *.blg *.bbl refman.pdf
pdflatex refman
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013)
restricted \write18 enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
/usr/bin/mktexfmt: line 395: /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!
make: *** [refman.pdf] Error 1
I looked at the mkexfmt command and it is trying to invoke tcfmgr as a command.
The /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig folder exists, but there is no tcfmgr command in it.
Previously I was getting the pdflatex command was not found, so that is recently installed.
[edit to answer version information question] I am sure I need to install more tools, but it is not clear what packages I need to install. I am using CentOS 7.1.

Doxygen PDF output depends on pdflatex command, which in CentOS 7 is provided by texlive-latex-bin-bin package, but runnig make pdf invokes yet another command, tcfmgr, which is provided by texlive-texconfig, hence, run the following command to install those dependencies:
yum install -y texlive-latex-bin-bin texlive-texconfig
You can check which packages provide any necessary file:
$ yum --quiet provides "*bin/pdflatex"
...

But even with these 2 basic requirements satisfied, I found that many other messages followed, and the whole list to reduce warnings was:

If you want a "recommended" package installation, you might choose one of these "virtual" packages that require other sets of packages, to compose a more "complete" Latex environment, in order of higher comprehensiveness:
texlive-collection-latex : LaTeX fundamental packages
texlive-collection-latexrecommended : LaTeX recommended packages

There are a fair number of warnings in there, but nothing reports an error. The log file is empty, as shown at the end there.
I'm not sure where to begin diagnosing. The tutorial lists Python and its dev pacakges, virtualenv, and git as dependencies, so:
~ $ python --version
Python 2.7.6
~ $ virtualenv --version
1.11.4
~ $ git --version
git version 1.9.1
~ $ apt-cache showpkg python-dev
Package: python-dev
Versions:
2.7.5-5ubuntu3 (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_binary-amd64_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)
How do I begin diagnosing this?
The firstrun example in the Buildbot documentation didn't work for me neither. I've tried with last tutorial from Buildbot and it works. It uses pip instead of easy_install:

Bugzilla installation issue in apache2- Ubuntu

When running
sudo /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl mod_perl2
command to install mod_perl for installing bugzilla in apache2 Ubuntu. I got the following error. I have installed apache2 ,MySql and Perl.

************* WARNING *************
Your Perl is configured to link against libgdbm,
but libgdbm.so was not found.
You could just symlink it to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdbm.so.3.0.0
************* WARNING *************
Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the
same directory as the 'httpd' executable.
If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against
the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a
very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before
proceeding.
Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable
(press Enter if you don't have it installed):
Please provide the location of the Apache directory:
[ error] Can't find dir ''
Please provide the location of the Apache directory:
[ error] Can't find dir ''
To resolve the perl lib issue, cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ then link libgdbm.so.3.0.0 to libgdbm.so.
ln -s libgdbm.so.3.0.0 libgdbm.so.
That should clear up the first warning.
For the apxs issue, you need to install apache2-dev.
on Ubuntu use the following command
sudo apt-get install apache2-dev
Rerun and that should correct it.

Install GD Library on RedHat machine for twiki

My ultimate goal is to run a twiki website for my research group.
I have space on RedHat server that is running Apache, etc., but upon which I do not have root access. Since I cannot install perl modules with the current permissions, I've decided to manually install a local version of perl. Got that working no problem. The following modules are required to get twiki to work:
FreezeThaw - http://search.cpan.org/~ilyaz/FreezeThaw
CGI::Session - http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Session
Error - http://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/Error
GD - http://search.cpan.org/~lds/GD
HTML::Tree - http://search.cpan.org/~petek/HTML-Tree
Time-modules - http://search.cpan.org/~muir/Time-modules
I have installed FreezeThaw, CGI, Error, and it fails on GD with the following error:
UNRECOVERABLE ERROR Could not find gdlib-config in the search path.
Please install libgd 2.0.28 or higher. If you want to try to
compile anyway, please rerun this script with the option --ignore_missing_gd.
In searching for how to get around this newest obstacle, I found a previous SO question: How to install GD library with Strawberry Perl asked about installing this and the top answer suggested manually compiling gdlib. You'll note, however, that that link is broken. The base site: http://www.libgd.org/ is basically down saying to go to the project's bitbucket page.
So I got the tarball from that page and am trying to install it. The following problems occur when I follow the instructions included. README.TXT says: "If the sources have been fetched from CVS, run bootstrap.sh [options]."
Running bootstrap.sh yields:
configure.ac:64: warning: macro `AM_ICONV' not found in library
configure.ac:10: required directory ./config does not exist cp: cannot
create regular file `config/config.guess': No such file or directory

aclocal's search path. cp: cannot create regular file
`config/depcomp': No such file or directory Makefile.am: installing

And it says I should also install the following 3rd party libraries:
zlib, available from http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
Data compression library
libpng, available from http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/
Portable Network Graphics library; requires zlib
FreeType 2.x, available from http://www.freetype.org/
Free, high-quality, and portable font engine
JPEG library, available from http://www.ijg.org/
Portable JPEG compression/decompression library
XPM, available from http://koala.ilog.fr/lehors/xpm.html
X Pixmap library
Which I am ignoring for now.
Switching to the generic instructions it says follow the advice in the INSTALL file; which says: "cd to the directory containing the package's source code and type ./configure to configure the package for your system." Which flat does not work: I've cd'ed into every directory of the tarball and running that command does nothing.
So, trying to install twiki required me to install perl, which required me to install the perl modules: FreezeThaw, CGI, Error, HTML, Time-modules, and GD -- which itself required me to install gdlib -- which further suggested I install zlib, libpng, FreeType 2.x, JPEG library, and XPM. And of course, I'm stuck at the installing gdlib stage.
My question is: what other process can possibly demean humanity to such a level? I cannot fathom the depths of cruelty that lay ahead of me as I dive ever deeper into this misery onion. Should I just end it all? Can meaning be brought from this madness? Will the sun come up tomorrow, and if so, does it even matter?
But seriously, any suggestions on what to do differently/better would be much appreciated -- I can't remember what a child's laughter sounds like anymore.
Install the package gd-devel, it contains /usr/bin/gdlib-config.
This should work:
sudo apt-get -y install libgd2-xpm-dev build-essential
