building RPMs
When you want to build rpm's make sure you ~/.rpmmacros file is more or less sane:
Example
%packager J Doe <johndoe@example.tv>
%vendor HomeMade
%_topdir /home/jdoe/rpmbuild
%_tmppath /home/jdoe/rpmbuild/tmp
%debug_package %{nil}
And the correct directories have to exist:
${HOME}/rpmbuild/
${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS
${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686
${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586
${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/athlon
${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/i486
${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386
${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch
${HOME}/rpmbuild/tmp
${HOME}/rpmbuild/BUILD
${HOME}/rpmbuild/SPECS
${HOME}/rpmbuild/SRPMS
${HOME}/rpmbuild/SOURCES
