Hi,
I need to install an rpm file,but I only have '.src.rpm' version of it. I want to convert it to a binary rpm.
so I tried this
rpm --rebuild somethin.src.rpm
But I am gettin '--rebuild:Invalid option' as output
Is there another way to rebuild source rpm.?
Thanks in advance.
Sunny

Do you have a package called "rpmbuild" installed ? (If you're not sure try at a console running "rpmbuild -?" - possibly as root, or with a "sudo" before it - if it's installed it'll give you some options, if not, try and install it with your favourite package manager).
If you have it installed try "rpmbuild -bb [Your-Source-Package]"

Just wondering how you've got on with this issue ? Did the above command work for you, or did you find an alternate way to do it ?
