It's dangerous to build packages as root. It's a practice that should not be encouraged. Build as a regular user (not even as your normal user account, ideally). To setup the config and dir structure needed to build as a regular user, install the rpmdevtools package and then run (as the user you want to build as): $ rpmdev-setuptree This will create ~/rpmbuild with the needed subdirectories. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hats off and applause to rogues and revolution!
