thankyou mathew for ur help.
But i still could not get rpm to run.
Ive been trying to generate aRPM through the spec file and havent been
successful.
Instead of putting the files sbull.c,Makefile,GPL,sbull-1.1 in a directory
than taring it ive tared thaem directly with the command tar -cf
sbull-1.1.tar * rather than doing tar -cf sbull-1.1.tar sbull-1.1.
This is the error i encounter:
File not found by glob:var/tmp/sbull-1.1/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/sbull-1.1/*
this error comes while running the install section.
The spec file is attached.
