Make fails on Ubuntu 14.04

[Echaleon]

Trying to compile on Ubuntu 14.04 fails due to file not found in _build/SRPMS, despite the files existing in SRPMS. First one happens right off the bat with:
libre-ocaml_1.2.2-1.dsc

Symlinking the file in SRPMS to _build/SRPMS seems to work, until make runs into another file not found error.

Try following:
cd buildroot
rm -rf _build/SRPMS _build/RPMS
ln -s RPMS _build/RPMS
ln -s SRPMS _build/SRPMS

In the mean time I did that, before I saw this, and it seemed to run well for awhile, until make ran into another error.

I did a find -name "liblwt*.tat*" to see if I could find anything and I only got:

./tmp/makedeb71CXsF/liblwt-ocaml_2.4.8.orig.tar.gz
./tmp/makedebW09efZ/liblwt-ocaml_2.4.8.orig.tar.gz

It's the same temp directory, so is it possible that it can be using 2.4.8. instead of 2.4.5? What would I have to modify to fix it? I'd really like to get this to work for XAPI on Ubuntu, and not have to resort to using CentOS or the prebuilt Xenserver iso, since the ZFS on Linux support isn't as great on CentOS.

sed -i 's/2.4.5/2.4.8/g' SPECS/ocaml-lwt.spec

But it will fail again on something else. I was not able to compile it successfuly under Ubuntu 14.04.

I got the exact same issues. First the "file not found" issue which the linking of SRPMS and RPMS resolves, and after that the issue with liblwt-ocaml_2.4.8-1.dsc
I am usning a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.2 on a Citrix XenServer to test things out, cound this affect?
