Re: How to install source rpm's on redhat 9

["Darren R. Weber" <weberdr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

I didn't really see anyone answer this directly for you.  If you already
know then I appologise.

I don't know all the ins and outs of rpms but usually for a source rpm
like you mentioned you can just run: 
"rpmbuild --rebuild filename.src.rpm"
run it as root then if you check in the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
directory you will find the compiled rpm.

Before you work too hard though you can get updated gkrellm packages at
www.freshrpms.net

Good luck
-Darren
