One note: If you suspect an rpm is not well built, it is advised not to try to build it as root. One typical error that won't be exposed is installing files in the %install phase not under the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT. I can't find a simple instructions page at the moment, so here goes: I assume that you will build the rpms under ~/RPM and that extra temporary files will be in ~/tmp . Those can be changed. My ~/.rpmmacros has: %_topdir /home/tzafrir/RPM %_tmppath /home/tzafrir/tmp Apart from that I need to create the following directories (if they don't already exist): ~/RPM/ ~/RPM/RPMS ~/RPM/SRPMS ~/RPM/BUILD ~/RPM/SOURCES ~/RPM/SPECS ~/tmp (It is possible that you can get away with bit less, but this should be enough) -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
