Thanks
Anders,
-bb worked perfect, but I did use rpmbuild instead of rpm as suggested by Ken.

It has been awhile since I have needed to compile a *.src.rpm package.
Can someone walk me thru it.
In particular I'm trying to get ruby-1.8.3 installed on SUSE 10.0 box.
I have downloaded the ruby-1.8.3-3.src.rpm file from the OSS factory.
I have done a simple "rpm -i ruby-1.8.3-3.src.rpm" and now have several files in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and the spec file in SPECS.
I have untarred the ruby-1.8.3.tar.bz2. What are the next steps?
Delete the untarred directory
Then run
rpm -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/ruby.spec
or -bb, if you don't want to generate a new src.rpm
