I was getting a message saying ... can't create list file: Permission denied at /usr/bin/genhdlist line 78. and another saying error on line 68 must be relative to /usr/bin I tried it with the path to genhdlist tacked onto the end of the command line. and at the begining. eg bash-2.05b$ genhdlist --dest /home/dave/rpms /usr/bin <-- error line 68 not really sure what i did differently (think it was putting the /usr/bin at the start as in the copied command below.

I can type in genhdlsit and it works (with me being in the rpms directory). maybe because i had not used it before the system didn�t have a config file for genhdlist. again thanks for the time and effort. -- Dave Lilley
