Hi all, In case anyone wants or needs to know I have just found out why I can not build from source using rpms Under Mandrake. A big thanks to all who tried to help. I went onto a redhat box and ran rpm --help to find a great deal more information that what is given in rpm --help on a mandrake box.
Under Mandrake 8.1 you miss the -t -b and a heap of other options this leaves something very restrictive IMO. I am a bit of a source junkie and at least feel at times source compiled on my machine could be a little better than that compiled on someone elses. Then again it's horses for courses.
