I'm trying to rebuild postfix and cyrus-sasl RPMS from SRPMS to add SMTP auth.

Following instructions on the postfix site, I'm trying to build as a regular user, not as root. However, whenever I run "rpm -ivh blah.blah.4.17.11.src.rpm" on a source RPM I get this error msg:

"error: cannot create %sourcedir /%HOME/rpm/SOURCES"

I've created .rpmmacros in my "/home/<userdir>" containing "%_topdir %HOME/rpm" as instructed. Is it something to do with the build root, or file/dir permissions, maybe?

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Cheers in advance,

jules.
