Dear friends, OK, playing with a different spec file (attached), I get the following error: $ rpmbuild -ba wbar.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.00KzX5 + umask 022 + cd /home/maitra/rpmbuild/BUILD + cd /home/maitra/rpmbuild/BUILD + rm -rf wbar-2.3.0 + /bin/tar -xf '/home/maitra/rpmbuild/SOURCES/detail? name=wbar_2.3.0.orig.tar.gz' gzip: stdin: not in gzip format /bin/tar: Child returned status 1 /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.00KzX5 (%prep) Question: why does it not do the /usr/bin/gzip? Shouldn't it do that first, or alternatively use /bin/tar -zxf? There might be other problems also, but at this point, I am stuck here. Any suggestions? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan
