Although the RKH team do not support this as such, we do maintain the rkhunter.spec file.

Can you email me the output of the 'rpmbuild -ta ...' command so I can see exactly where it is failing. The rkhunter.spec file only had 1 change that I can remember. That was changing the cron.daily file name from something like '01-rkhunter' to just 'rkhunter' (this then allows it to run after any prelinking cron job and avoids some of the prelinking errors users were getting). As such there is virtually no difference between this release and the last one.
