Hello all,

I am having a few problems understanding how one installs lmule in SuSE
8.2.

After looking through the archives I found the following instructions:
#### start #####
 >Download
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lmule/lmule-1.2.1-1.src.rpm?download,
 >install it and build your own binary RPM via 'rpm -bb'. Otherwise you 
 >won't be able to run the lmule of that package due to incompatible 
 >libraries (in your case wxWindows). 
 > 
 >Philipp 

Thanks Philipp. It complained about some wxWindows packages I was
missing 
 but once those were installed everything worked like a charm. 
#### end #####


so I downloaded lmule-1.2.1-1.src.rpm but when I run rpm -bb
lmule-1.2.1-1.src.rpm I get the following message.

linux:/ftp/Install/Lmule # rpm -bb lmule-1.2.1-1.src.rpm
File /ftp/Install/Lmule/lmule-1.2.1-1.src.rpm does not appear to be a
specfile.

linux:/ftp/Install/Lmule # rpm -b lmule-1.2.1-1.src.rpm
rpm: --build (-b) requires one of a,b,i,c,p,l as its sole argument

Would someone please be so kind as to give me a few specific pointers on
how to install lmule.

TIA
James
