Well, that was not it. I still get the same errors after adding my user id to /etc/at.allow. I tested whether job control was enabled by moving top into the background using ctrl-z and fg to return and that worked. Any suggestions as to what I am missing? I sure this problem is only ignorance on my part.
Try installing ksh and see if that helps.
Also issuing --target= isn't enough for most builds, you also need your external build environment to report i386 or some part of the build process might start pulling in x86_64 libraries.
To do that you can try issuing an 'arch i386 rpmbuild -ba -- target=i386 <your spec file>' the 'arch i386' sets up the environment to report the machine is i386. That doesn't work everywhere, that is why mock or Xen or VMware with a full i386 environment is the recommended approach.
Personnally I like Xen as it comes with the OS and using virt-install getting another CentOS PV guest os is relatively quick. Others prefer mock still others VMware. Only mock and Xen can do it in a text-only setup.
