I downloaded the above source rpm but can't install it. This is what I
did:
# rpm -i unclutter-0.8-1mdk.src.rpm
# cd /usr/local/src/unclutter
# rpm --rebuild unclutter-0.8-1mdk.src.rpm

RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.17024 (%build)
I get the same error (last 4 lines) but different rpm-tmp.number
(rpm-tmp.501:) when I do the following:
# cd /usr/src/RPM/SPECS
# rpm -bb --clean --rmsource unclutter.spec
This results in no rpm in /usr/source/RPM/RPMS dir or subdirs. Does
anyone know what the "xmkmf" bit is? Do I not have a necessary helper-app
installed perhaps?
This is the first time I've tried to install a source rpm so I've been
following a HOWTO. Maybe I went wrong somewhere?
TIA
