If you have not already done so (it looks you have actually), set up an RPM build environment in your home directory, let's say ~/rpmbuild/ ( see http://www.city-fan.org/tips/CreateRPMBuildEnvironment ) 2. Install the src.rpm into your RPM build area using your regular user account: rpm -Uvh your.src.rpm 3. Edit the existing spec file in the ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory, or overwrite it with a new one created by someone else 4. Build your new package: rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/pkgname.spec Paul.
