If it's a binary RPM, then you can't. RPM requires write access to the rpm database which a non-root user does not have. For source RPMs, look at the rpmbuild-nonroot-1.0.tar.gz package from Mike Harris. You can type that file name in google and it will find it for you. It includes a README that you really should read. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
