RPM build error

[a bv]

Hi,
Thanks for the answer , it returned nothing. what im trying to rpm is
Dansguardians last tar file from its web site , i couldnt find an
official rpm on the site and dont know any reliable and recent
dansguardians rpm. Ill look at the spec file samples and google how to
write.

Regards
