Also I find it useful to use yum localinstall "path to the rpm" The benefit of using yum localinstall is if there is a missing dependency then it will automatically download it. Here is the info on building Firefox and Thunderbird RPM's Do this first: http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/rpmbuild/ Another method to create rpmbuild directory in your home directory is using fedora-rpmdevtools Thanks to Mr. Warren Togami's suggestion. 1) Install fedora-rpmdevtools binary RPM from Fedora Extras for your Fedora release. $ sudo yum install fedora-rpmdevtools 2) As a non-root user, run fedora-buildrpmtree to create rpmbuild directory. $ fedora-buildrpmtree Do these next: http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/firefox/ http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/thunderbird/ It has worked perfectly for me following the steps on those web sites.
