Those pastebin links will expire in a few days, so here's the key part of that output:

Since rabbitmq-server is not available by default on AlmaLinux 9.x, I was able to get it setup by following RabbitMQ's upstream instructions here.

If you'd prefer, you can also use Redis:

[celery] broker_url = "redis://"

I am stuck on the make step under "Install MediaGoblin".

Below is a PrivateBin link with the stdout/stderr shown when running through this step: https://bin.linux.pizza/?ff1480ed2fa7c694#CCt8FxTXFmut26Q6cc7UoWW7QGE5CrANQ3Zin5XHo8aW

We fixed a similar error "can't copy 'licenses/*'" seen in Debian 11 on the master branch back in October (c70e444c). Could you please try that branch and see if this is resolved for you?

The issue appears to be that slightly older versions of Python, Setuptools, Pip or similar don't support the wildcard syntax in setup.cfg's "options.data_files" config.

For what it's worth, we do have a Fedora CI build which might offer some clues as to what the appropriate OS packages are called:

https://git.sr.ht/~mediagoblin/mediagoblin/tree/master/item/.builds/fedora-39.yml

I believe the gstreamer1 package name may be the equivalent of that on AlmaLinux.

I tried to add commit c70e444c in there and it still would not build.

I then decided to try the latest commit acd9d04f, ran into errors & was still unable to build. I saw some type of error about mediagoblin/tests/test_ldap.py:32: could not import 'ldap': No module named 'ldap', so then installed the python3-ldap package, tried to build again, and then that ldap error went away but it was still not able to build.

Do you have an optimal place to past error logs? Any ideas?

Hey there,

This is odd: ldap should be detected as missing, and the tests skipped.

Looks like SourceHut has one: https://paste.sr.ht/. The output of your configure script, as well as config.log would be useful to see.
