As your ordinary user (not root): $ rpm -i whatever.src.rpm $ cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS $ vim/emacs/gedit whatever.spec $ rpmbuild -bs whatever.spec Remeber that you should normally increase the Release tag number and add an entry in the %changelog section towards the end. You can alsorun rpmlint on the spec file to do some sanity checks. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth
