Hi,
where I could find info on how to make rpm for suse? Or maybe there is another solution for my problem. I have one old SuSE Linux Standard Server 8.0. In another town there is another such server. I have to configure support for APC Smart UPS 1500. I will use "apcupsd" package. I cannot find "apcupsd" rpm package for SLSS8 on the net. I get sources and compiled it on my server. How can I transfer it to another server? Any suggestions?

Try KRPMbuilder, it's been one of the easiest I've found lately. I've had problems of late using "checkinstall", as the others suggest, especially if the coding is not exactly right. Many of the source archives don't call or direct things to the right directory when doing checkinstall, so the rpm fails to build. KRPMbuilder will help eliminate those problems as well as helping you understand the proper building of a rpm. end of line Lee
