Oh also sorry about that--- make a file called ~/.rpmrc and another called ~/.rpmmacros rpmmacros should look like this %_topdir /home/tester/rpm %_tmppath /home/tester/rpm/tmp %_signature gpg %_gpg_name Mandrake Linux %_gpg_path ~/.gnupg %distribution Mandrake Linux %vendor MandrakeSoft And rpmrc should look like this: buildarchtranslate: i386: i586 buildarchtranslate: i486: i586 buildarchtranslate: i586: i586 buildarchtranslate: i686: i586 And make sure you install every package that begins with the letters rpm and also spec-helper.
