As Root I've been trying to build an rpm frpm a src.rpm on Mandrake 7.2 as follows :- 1)copied src.rpm to /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS/ 2)in term cd'd to that directory 3)rpm -rebuild foo.src.rpm and I get the error message " rpm: arguments to --root (-r) must begin with a /" Would somebody please enlighten (no pun intended) me to what this means and what (if appropriate) the correct method/comandis for creating RPMs from src.rpms. Thanks Bill
