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.
What is this part about setting environment variables for the rpm building? One site say that the source rpm has to be installed first and then it is rebuilt. Its all confusing.
Regards,
Rony.

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).
