So, I have created the file ~/.rpmmacros and put there this: # ~/.rpmmacros %packager <alilou> %_topdir %(echo "$HOME")/rpmbuild %_topdir /home/alilou/rpm After creating these directories: SOURCES SPECS BUILD SRPMS RPMS/i386 RPMS/athlon RPMS/i486 RPMS/i586 RPMS/i686 RPMS/noarch, I have done this: [alilou@localhost rpm]$ rpm -i kile-1.7.1-1.fc3.src.rpm But I have this error: attention: user gerald doesn't existe - using root attention: user gerald doesn't existe - using root I think that 'gerald' is the user who created the kile-1.7.1-1.fc3.src.rpm. What must I do to resolve this problem please??? Thank you Liloulinx </body> </html>
