This is all way too complex, you shouldn't use --root or define all those variables, %_topdir is enough. Just do (for example): Put in ~/.rpmmacros (only): %_topdir /home/testlscsoft/rpm Then use the following commands: mkdir -p /home/testlscsoft/rpm/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} rpm -ivh lscsoft-user-env-1.12-1.src.rpm cd /home/testlscsoft/rpm/SPECS rpm -ba lscsoft-user-env.spec -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
