Do you refer to a "source RPM" (src.rpm) or a binary rpm? It looks like you want to install/extract a src.rpm, but you didn't say that. > Directories are created in rpm.

For src.rpms you would need to define the %_topdir macro at least, e.g. with $ mkdir $HOME/rpm $ echo "%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpm" > $HOME/.rpmmacros in your shell, before your user could install src.rpm packages into a local directory. For binary rpms, you would need to point rpm to a different root directory, see --root option in "man rpm". -- Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) - Linux 2.6.9-1.667 loadavg: 2.12 2.37 1.96 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
