But if you want all the bells and whistles, why not just grab the gkrellm rpms from freshrpms.net? 10 second install and you're good to go.
The /usr/src/redhat directory is not for manual builds but for automated rpm builds - if you want build from a tarball you should untar the source in /usr/local/src -
But again, why futz around with home grown unmanaged builds when you can just install the rpms?

Hello. I'm a newbie & although I have managed to upgrade my kernel from source, they always seem to come with very detailed instructions.
I would like to install this program
(http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html) on my redhat 9 system. The source file is at apps kde. I got as far as getting the directory
knetmonapplet-0.9 into /usr/src/redhat/BUILD. I ran the configure &
make & make install as root. Just as I thought, it did not work or I do
not know where the install directory for KDE is. I just let it use the
default of /usr/local/kde. Any light that anyone could shed on this
problem would be most appreciated.
