I'd guess something is failing during the build process. You might try capturing the build output to a file and see if you can find what's failing. Something like: $ rpmbuild -bb freetype.spec 2> build.out Here is the result of my build: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) $ rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/SRPMS/freetype-2.1.3-6.src.rpm $ cd rpmbuild/SOURCES/freetype-2.1.3/ (Edit .spec file and enable bytecode interpreter.) $ rpmbuild -bb freetype.spec [snip build output] Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files \ /home/mfratoni/rpmbuild/tmp/freetype-2.1.3-root Wrote: /home/mfratoni/rpmbuild/RPMS/freetype-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm Wrote: /home/mfratoni/rpmbuild/RPMS/freetype-utils-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm Wrote: /home/mfratoni/rpmbuild/RPMS/freetype-demos-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm Wrote: /home/mfratoni/rpmbuild/RPMS/freetype-devel-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm And the files you were showing as missing: $ rpm -qlp /home/mfratoni/rpmbuild/RPMS/freetype-demos-2.1.3-6.i386.rpm /usr/bin/ftdump /usr/bin/ftlint /usr/bin/ftmemchk /usr/bin/ftmulti /usr/bin/ftstring /usr/bin/fttimer /usr/bin/ftview - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+q0xin/07WoAb/SsRAmoQAKCDrxJnjWVlni8wwKWuixZImOysIgCbBBnk ckZMD4T2a0zIYQ33zDo8Q0A= =Ux8l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
