ISTR something like that happened to me on one box too - turned out that 'rpm-build' was not installed (is a seperate RPM, which you only need to package/develop RPMs, not to use binary RPMs).
This should be installed along with the "software development" packages; but I don't know a way of installing them all after inital installation w/out tracing all the dependencies (semi-)manually. eric clover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > i tried the ./ still got the same thing. > i then chose to try the 4.0.2 version. > now it just gives me the --help screen > when i try it.... > > Mike Burger wrote: >> >> Eric may have to add "./" to the front of "sudo-1.6.6-1.src.rpm". >> >> > SUPPORT wrote: >> > >> > > i cannot rebuild a source rpm. >> > > these are the error messages i get. >> > > >> > > [root@droopy root]# rpm --rebuild --target i686 sudo-1.6.6-1.src.rpm >> > > sudo-1.6.6-1.src.rpm: No such file or directory >> > > [root@droopy root]# ls -ld sudo-1.6.6-1.src.rpm >> > > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 358545 May 8 15:06 sudo-1.6.6-1.src.rpm >> > > >> > > [root@droopy root]# rpm -q rpm >> > > rpm-4.0.3-6x So long, Joe -- "I use emacs, which might be thought of as a thermonuclear word processor." -- Neal Stephenson, "In the beginning... was the command line" _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
