See i.e. > http://freshrpms.net/docs/fight/ > > Alexander Thanks Alexander, But it begs the question, why is it that /usr/src/redhat/* are all owned by root? When building from an SRPM as an unprivileged user I do not have the needed permissions to write to these locations. In the meantime I have made /usr/src/redhat/* world writeable and I am building as a normal user. Thanks, JWP
