Building as root is not sensible, as packages can 'leak' and
pollute the host environment -- see:
http://www.oldrpm.org/hintskinks/buildtree/
for setting up a non-root building environment.
We discuss it in a CentOS context here:
http://www.owlriver.com/tips/non-root/
http://www.owlriver.com/tips/patching_srpms/
The Guru Labs tutorial material are linked, and a local copy
also maintained at:
http://www.oldrpm.org/howto/
which are also well thought of by me.
appreciate if someone can hrlp me and detail me some steps or give me so
possible links tht gonna be of help
thnks and apprecite
