Hello All,

Can anyone post a note on building rpms from source rpms? I have looked on the net, even the rpm website but I goes a little bouncer. I have even created an rpm folder with some subfolders called BUILD RPMS SOURCE ... as per a site's instructions but I am not able to get any rpm --rebuild command to work. It gives an error of command not found. I use Mandrake 10.1 and its package manager shows no such package 'rpm-build' or 'rpm*' even in the full list.

You may need to install the rpmbuild package.

[devdas@evita devdas]$ rpm -qf `which rpmbuild` rpm-build-4.0.4-7x.18

Then rpmbuild --rebuild file.src.rpm as root (or suitable user).
