^ this is a variable. The value of %{version}
should have been set earlier in the spec file. Probably near the top. I see
you're calling the spec file kernel-2.2.13.spec. If you're rewriting this to
build the 2.2.13 kernel you have the advantage of me as you haven't told us
that yet. Also... if you're serious about building rpm's and learning the
ropes why not join the rpm list. I learned a lot over there during the last
couple of years and I still do.
