I think you need to set up your .rpmmacros or something like that. You have the source installed in ~David, but by default RPM expects to build from /usr/src/redhat. Alternatively, do '# chown David.David -R /usr/src/redhat', and build from there (as David). That's what I do (well, as jskov :) Jesper
