Thanks for the tip; however, I'm still having problems. That page suggests that I create a .rpmrc file with a line like topdir: /u/tchow/mysubdirectory in it. But when I do that, I get an error: % rpmbuild --rebuild gnubg.rpm error: bad option 'topdir' at /u/tchow/.rpmrc:1 Installing gnubg.rpm error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES error: gnubg.rpm cannot be installed I'm using RPM version 4.3.3; has there been a change in syntax or something?
