| From: Thomas TS <ttsoares@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | # rpm -ta xawtv-4.tar.gz | | -ta: unknown option For all Fedora releases and the last few Red Hat Linux releases, the correct command would be rpmbuild, not rpm. | # rpm -bb xawtv.spec | | -bb: unknown option Ditto. | As you see... i am an RPM newbie :-( Probably you read the old documentation (Maximum RPM?). Too bad there isn't comprehensive current documentation for RPM as far as I know.
