See: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/hack.html and http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net/hacks/rpm_environment.tar.gz (Which was just recently updated for the fix detailed here). I was simply trying to point out why the poster was having difficulty building the packages. I've since found the reason it wouldn't build for a non root user. It appears one of the rpm macro files wasn't in my rpm search path. (and likely isn't in your's either.) The solution was to add: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros to the users macrofiles definition. (In ~/.rpmrc for me.) Try this as both root and a normal user (assuming you have a non root build environment set up.): $ rpm --showrc | grep gnu If you don't see (as a mortal user): _target_platform %{_target_cpu}-%{_vendor}-%{_target_os}%{?_gnu} Then you are probably missing a path in your macrofiles definition. > I've attached the patch I made to freetype.spec.
