I downloaded the ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm and created the folders you said under to " /home/tansu" directory. ("tansu" is my name and "tansu" is a user). Then i copied the ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm to the same directory. is this correct? But as an user, t tried to execute the command "rpm -ivh ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm" it displayed the message below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tansu]$ pwd /home/tansu [EMAIL PROTECTED] tansu]$ rpm -ivh ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm warning: ktechlab-0.1.3-1mdk.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 26752624 error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES [EMAIL PROTECTED] tansu]$ What can i do now? please.. Best regards Tansu
