Quoting Drew Leske <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

 Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at
 /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/General.pm line 498, <GEN0> line 259.

Um, the error is right here in front of your face.  Can't exec aclocal.
Perhaps you don't have aclocal installed?

I guess I don't know enough about autoconf and automake.  I thought this was
part of autoconf ('ac'local)--and I have autoconf installed.

Nope.  aclocal is part of automake.  Don't ask me why..

Also, I saw somebody else with the same error, and the advice to them was to
use "--target=i686".  Which worked for the kernel modules.

Correct, the "--target=i686" tells rpmbuild to only build kernel modules
by default.

After installing automake and ncurses-devel as well, the following worked
for me:

ncurses-devel too?   Hmm, okay.  I've added that as a build-req.

 # rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 \
   --define "build_modules 1" --define "build_userspace 1" \
   specs/openafs.spec

to build everything in one step.  The userspace stuff is now i686, but I
don't see why that would be a concern.

Note that there is an "openafs-buildall" script in SOURCES which will
build EVERYTHING for you in one fell swoop.  It's the script I use
to build the base packages and then all the various kernel modules.
This script is certainly much more important on a 2.6-based system
because you need to rpmbuild separately for each kernel build, not just
each kernel version.

"rpm -qi openafs" for much more information.

Thanks for your help,
Drew.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] build]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/aclocal
automake-1.9.2-3

I find it odd that autoconf doesn't depend on that, as I'm just calling
autoreconf, but:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] build]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/autoreconf
autoconf-2.59-5

Still -- your problem is a missing aclocal, as per the error you received.
