Umm...try using your build command (havn't done a source rpm command in ages so I forget the syntax...please forgive me) with a > /usr/src/buildlog at the end ie if you were typing rpm -bv <rpmname> to build the RPM, type rpm -bv <rpmname> > /usr/src/buildlog instead that will redirect std output to a textfile called Buildlog in /usr/src If you really want to get fancy, try the following rpm -bv <rpmname> > /usr/src/buildlog 2> /usr/src/builderr that will do the above and redirect stderr to a different file for your reading enjoyment Hope this helps Andrew
