Barry: 1) Try to refrain from TOFU (text over, full-quote under) posts. It is bad mail etiquette. 2) Do not start a new thread by replying to an existing thread. It is bad mail etiquette. > X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 3) This is just evil. No further comment necessary. 4) To specify a different output directory, set %_topdir in your ~/.rpmmacros file to point to the, well, top dir of the output tree. RPM output. This tree normally looks something like: kw@behemoth[1]:~$ find /usr/src/pc -type d -depth /usr/src/pc/BUILD /usr/src/pc/RPMS/athlon /usr/src/pc/RPMS/i386 /usr/src/pc/RPMS/i486 /usr/src/pc/RPMS/i586 /usr/src/pc/RPMS/i686 /usr/src/pc/RPMS/noarch /usr/src/pc/RPMS /usr/src/pc/SOURCES /usr/src/pc/SPECS /usr/src/pc/SRPMS /usr/src/pc In this case, %_topdir would be set to /usr/src/pc Oh yeah, a little rtfm never hurts. You should check out http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ or something similar (Max RPM is bound to be a bit outdated). 5) Happy New Year to you too, but there is still 4 days of 2003 left and we could spiral into the sun before then. ;-) Cheers! krjw. -- Keith R.
