EVER! For example, a single wrongly placed 'rm' in the spec file can botch your system. To build RPMS: Make sure the following packages are installed # yum -y install rpmdevtools redhat-rpm-macros Setup an rpm build tree in your homedir $ rpmdev-setuptree and build the rpm with $ rpmbuild --rebuild boost-1.39.0-3.fc12.src.rpm Or, even better, you can use mock. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
