For one - check if thse packages are already packaged for FC3 (from dag/freshrpms/atrpms) Summary instructions on using .src.rpm 1. setup a non-root build infrastructure. i.e from http://www.fedoranews.org/tchung/rpmbuild/ cd ~ cp -a /usr/src/redhat/ rpmbuild echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' >> .rpmmacros 2. Now build the .src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild foo.src.rpm <if build dependency errors - install the required pacakges - with yum as 'root' - and try again> If the compile goes without errors - the compiled rpm will be in ~/rpmbuild/RPM/i386 Satish
