First off thanks to all for your tremendous help without it i would have probably given up on bacula by now. Lets just say it is a probably a good thing the fedora box is remote so i cannot physically get to it. Got C++ installed managed to get the extras working and seem to have the rpmbuildtree in my home directory. Looks like i am on to a whole new set of problems now, but this is great i think this means progress right? rpmbuild]$ ls bacula-1.38.5-4.src.rpm BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS [rmvg@shoemasters rpmbuild]$ rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'fc3 1' --define 'build_mysql 1' --define 'build_mysql4 1' bacula-1.38.5-4.src.rpm Installing bacula-1.38.5-4.src.rpm warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root warning: user sbarn does not exist - using root error: You must specify a platform.

If you get messages about some packages being needed, use yum to install those packages as for gcc-c++ and rpm-build above, then retry the rpmbuild command. P.S.
