Dennis, Check out http://linuxvm.org/present/SHARE98/S5507NFa.pdf (RPM 101). But most likely what you need to do is copy the patches to the source to the /SOURCES directory, then go back to the /SPECS directory and do a "rpm -bb strace.spec" and then sit back and wait. When the binary rpm is built, go to /RPMS/s390 and "rpm -ivh strace-whatever.s390.rpm"

Too much good info on this list! Anyway, I have installed the rource rpm for strace and updated the spec file with the two additional patches for the "May 2002 stream" 390 updates. Now what do I do? I vaguely remember that there were three or four steps that had to be done but I am having no success remembering or figuring out what they are. Many TIA! Dennis -- Dennis G.
