Hi. You want to bild RPMs only if you are a programmer who makes a program that other shall install on suse. I usually installs redhat rpms on my suse. works fine most the time (with the glibc2 package installed).

Well,before you guys go rushing off telling me to read the docs... (1)been there. (2)done that (3)try it ?? I need an easy to understand approach to building rpms. i often need to upgrade packages,and these are not catered for by SuSE. For instance windowmaker,i used to do this by hand,but now i can use a ready made rpm,thanks to someone who bothered. i need the new perl,and even though in its the beta6.0 dist,it won`t work. i guess it wants glibc2 ??. we should do this often,as we have an incoming on ftp.suse.com,that no-one uses. please help if you can.
