That tells you to create these directories in your /home (~ is shorthand for your home directory) ~/rpm ~/rpm/BUILD ~/rpm/SPECS ~/rpm/SOURCES ~/rpm/RPMS ~/rpm/RPMS/i586 ~/rpm/RPMS/noarch ~/rpm/RPMS/i386 ~/rpm/RPMS/i686 ~/rpm/RPMS/athlon ~/rpm/SRPMS ~/rpm/tmp When you install the src.rpm (as a user) it will unpack the source code into ~/rpm/SOURCES After compiling the src.rpm (with 'rpmbuild -bb samba.spec'), a compiled rpm will appear in ~/rpm/RPMS/i586 If those directories do not exist installing the src.rpm will fail. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
