Hi all,

I have installed the recommended installs from here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM

I want to build a "ipfm" RPM on a CentOS 6.2, for legacy purpose. I cant immediately get rid of that piece of software, but we're on the move...

So:

$ wget http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/2/search/ipfm-0.11.5-alt1.src... $ rpm -i --nomd5 ipfm-0.11.5-alt1.src.rpm error: ipfm-0.11.5-alt1.src.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest):

I probably missed something or am using some very outdated ressources: would some help me?

I will point out that SRPM is for ALT linux, not CentOS .. who knows if it will compile on CentOS.
