I think you'll find I answered this about half an hour ago. but, in case that sounded stroppy... do this as follows... (all done as a normal user, NOT ROOT!) 1. create the needed directory structure: # mkdir -p ~/REDHAT/{RPMS,SRPMS,SPECS,BUILD,SOURCES} 2. edit/create ~/.rpmmacros so that it contains the line %_topdir /home/your_username/REDHAT 3. then install your source RPMS using your unprivileged account. # rpm -ivh my_package-1.0-1.src.rpm the data they contain will end up in your ~/REDHAT directory in the SPECS and SOURCES subdirectories you can now edit the source files in ~/REDHAT/SOURCES/ using the editor of your choice...
