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?
No need to untar anything. Use rpmbuild -bb
