Hallo Group Members my question is how to force *X86.rpm package creation when running: rpmbuild --short-circuit -bi /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ethereal.spec After this command is executed, although with success I do not see *X86.rpm in any of /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ subdirectories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ what I did I successfully did the following command (with prior successful compilation): prompt# rpmbuild --short-circuit -bi /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ethereal.spec Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.90173 + umask 022 + cd
