I tried various -b? parameters -- some appeared to go through the motions and eventually I ended up with empty directories under ~/rpmbuild/RPMS and ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS. Others gave a stack of errors similar to the example I posted. The only time I got anything at all in either of those directories was when I told it to simply build me a srpm, which it did in less than a second. However, as it obviously wouldn't compile that was a bit pointless. > yum install redhat-rpm-config > > set your ~/.rpmmacros file with: > %_topdir /home/you/src/redhat > > create the structure found at /usr/src/redhat/RPMS etc. in the topdir. I assumed that rpmdev-setuptree did all of that for me. This is my ~/.rpmmacros file: %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild %_smp_mflags -j3 %__arch_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
