Greg (CyberCFO), I'm wrc1944 from the pclinuxonline srpm discussion. It's a small cyberworld after all! All these different names can get confusing. I try to keep it simple and only use wrc1944 as my Linux username and forums id, and have one email address, and try to use only one password if possible.
Anyway, I could never get the file to build as user. I tried it with the .rpmrcmacros file (and my user name and tmp directory) as instructed in the how-to. I followed directions explicitly, but I guess I must have missed something. I'll give it another try- maybe I missed a typo or had a copy/paste error.
