The easiest way to do this is as root: # rpmbuild --rebuild foo-1.0-1.src.rpm # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/foo-1.0-1.i386.rpm
Oh... I thought rebuilding RPMs involved a lot of programming knowledge or something. Lord knows configuring and making binaries is tricky, at least for a newbie. Does that pattern you've written above apply for most package rebuilds?
Pretty much, yep. In general it goes like this:
rpmbuild --rebuild foo-version.src.rpm rpmbuild -ba foo.spec rpmbuild -ta foo-version.tar.gz
I went ahead and did this for giFTui-0.4.1 for you...
Hey, thanks! That's really cool of you.
But, as is often the case with my Linux experience, I'm on to the next error:
[dave@localhost ~]$ giftui giftui : No host to connect /apps/giftui/daemon/host. *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x089f4448 *** Aborted
Perhaps giFTui is just too beta to be used by me. Anyone recommend a good peer to peer software for all the non-bittorrent networks, like gnutella and eDonkey?
Dunno, but on the giftui site you might want to check out the 2nd post on the main page and see if that fixes your problem.
