Useful Tip # 7To build a rpm as a user and not as a root you need to setup a similar directory structure as your system requires. Under Caldera the RPMs are built under /usr/src/OpenLinux. Under Redhat it's under /usr/src/redhat. The above directories contain the following subdirectories ./RPMS ./RPMS/i386 ./SOURCES ./SPECS ./SRPMS ./BUILD First create a directory that will be your base RPM environment. I've set it up this way. mkdir /home/username/myrpms Edit the file /home/username/.rpmmacros with your favorite editor to include the line %_topdir /home/username/myrpms Thank to Tom Rothamel for this tip.
