Hi Nathan,
The problem I am seeing is the same thing I saw when building another rpm
myself. When I try to run:
rpm -bANYTHING specfile
I always get:
No such file or directory
>From searching the net, all I could find was a recommendation to use rpmbuild
instead of rpm. When I did that, it worked perfectly. The Makepkgs run also
is trying to perform a "rpm" build. Simply fooling Makepkgs into using
rpmbuild instead of rpm built the rpms.
The rpm versions I have installed are:
rpm-4.0.3-1.03
rpmbuild-4.0.3-1.03
rpm-python-4.0.3-1.03
