The rpm command I used in the past (up to and including 11.1) no longer works. I am not sure what the change is. I build rpms from an alternate directory. This is mainly so I do not need to deal with permissions in the system-wide place. My command is: rpmbuild --define "_topdir /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm" \ --define _rpmfilename %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{ARCH}.rpm \ --quiet \ -bb \ --rmspec /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/RSofT_Convert.spec /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm is the alternate directory. I get a message that this file cannot be found: /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/BUILDROOT/RSofT_Convert-18.00-18.00.i386/home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/RSofT_Convert-18.00.tgz It seems the odd part is the /home/roger/source.18.00/Package.Linux/rpm/BUILDROOT/RSofT_Convert-18.00-18.00.i386 at the start. This worked in 11.1. Any clue where to start looking?
