Hi all,

I am almost (almost that is) embarrassed to ask this.

Got a Redhat 7.3 install and I've tried to install source RPM's to no avail. Well I found out that there is no /usr/src/redhat directory and it's subdirectories. I *thought* that I had installed all the goodies during install; kernel-utils, kernel-source, glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16. I've installed it previously and and those directories where there so I'm not sure what I missed here.

Question is, can I just create the /usr/src/redhat directory and it's subdirectories with no harm done?

Thanks,

You should be able to create it with no dire consequences. You should also make BUILD, RPMS, SOURCES, SPECS, & SRPMS within it also. These are created by rpm-build-4.0.4-7x.18 so do an rpm -qa | grep rpm and see if it's installed. I suspect not.
