When you install a src RPM you should do it as a user. The source will be installed in ~/rpm/RPMS/SOURCES and the spec file will be in ~/rpm/RPMS/SPECS Tp recompile the rpm. cd to the SPECS folder and run rpm --rebuild name_of_spec_file When rebuilding you will need the necessary compilers and '-devel' packages installed. If compiling fails read the errors and use urpmf to locate the package the required file is in. When the RPM is rebuilt the completed package will be in /rpm/RPMS/ix86 If you were root when you installed the src RPM it will be in /usr/src/RPMS/SOURCES To learn about building RPMS take a look at http://www.mandrakelinux.com/howtos/mdk-rpm/ derek
