zero error messages.(now anyway).
In fact the problem is i can build an srpm but i get no binary package.
the docs say that rpm -ba **.spec builds both rpm and srpm.
also tried -bb option this also results in a srpm.
am building in /usr/src/packages/
spec files are in SPECS dir.
source.tar.gz in SOURCES
process uncompresses tar.gz,configures,makes,installs to ~/bin
did this to test install without overwriting real rxvt binary.
creates a tmp rpm package in /var/tmp.
my /etc/rpmrc file is looking good.
but i only still get source rpms.
these on examination consist of the tar.gz file and the **.spec file.
the build directory in BUILD is removed after compilation.
In fact everything in the docs is happening,execpt for the binary.rpm
