Hi All I am trying to rebuild an rpm from source (I cannot use the binary as I have to compile with earlier libraries). To my surpise it simply does not happen. I remember having done this once before and then it worked. In this case the rpm is transfig-3.2.1-3.src.rpm, so I issue the command: rpm --rebuild transfig-3.2.1-3.src.rpm It goes through the compilation process and gives me an "exit 0" which means it compiled OK. I am able to find the distribution in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD, ie in BUILD there is a transfig.3.2.1 directory with all the binaries in it. But I also need the binary rpm (to be able to install on the network). This should have been placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. But there is no transfig-3.2.1-3.i386.rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386. I have tried this on two different computers. I am really baffled. What happened here? In the manual pages for rpm it states very clearly that the binary rpm is rebuilt from source if you provide the command rpm --rebuild <source-package> Anybody knows what the problem is here?
