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
