Im running redhat 8 , and im trying to install this src.rpm file??/ however when i follow the instruction on that says to type rpm --rebuild <filename.src.rpm> console reports --rebuild not a know command. I also tried rpmbuild -rebuild <filename.src.rpm

In newer versions of RPM, in order to rebuilda src. package, you have to issue the following command:



This information can be obtained through "man rpmbuild" or "man rpm".

i had that same problem.....why cant they just keep things consistant....
damn Redhat

[QUOTE] rpmbuild --rebuild filename.src.rpm [QUOTE]


I had first tried that command... and console reports uknown command???

2 possibilities come to mind:

1) do this as root user

2) make sure that's 2 dashes/hyphens in front of the rebuild option;
most options are only preceded by 1

HTH
