Hi Kurt, Thanks much for the good example. I tried the suggested syntax you posted. rpmbuild dies at 'fg: no job control'.This is at the line '%{BUILDROOT}/ usr/bin/file'. It appears FC10 rpmbuild is more stringent or something.I am wondering if I have something hosed on my dev box FC10 I am trying to build this on? Last things I have rpm built was on Centos5. I could things to rpmbuild fine on that OS? I'll keep scratching. Thanks again, Barry _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
