Yo GL: Attempt to rpm --rebuild imlib-1.9.9-1mdk.src.rpm yields: Installing imlib-1.9.9-1mdk.src.rpm ...<deleted> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/imlib-1.9.9' + tar jxvf /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES/imlib-pofiles.tar.bz2 tar: invalid option -- j Try `tar --help' for more information. Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.99376 (%install) It's 14:23:24 on Mon Feb 19. You are root at { /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS } I dunno what was meant by tar jxvf - could not find a ''j'' option. Is that for a new tar? I would fix but do not know what was actually meant nor could I find where (TAR) jxvf was being used. Sorry. How to fix so that it will rebuild (for LM 7.2)? rj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
