That was the problem. My system started with Red Hat 3.0.3, and has been upgraded to every version through RH 9.0, then FC1 and FC2. But it did not have redhat-rpm-config installed, nor did I know of it. I used to rebuild packages just fine without it. Is the need for redhat-rpm-config and the include in .rpmrc documented somewhere? Thanks, Eric
