If have a system with rpmbuild can find out by doing : $ which rpmbuild /usr/bin/rpmbuild $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rpmbuild rpm-build-4.3.3-13_nonptl Alternatively, can get information from yum : $ yum provides rpmbuild this will give lots of output -- the line/paragraph in particular you should be interested in : rpm-build.i386 4.3.3-13_nonptl base Matched from: /usr/bin/rpmbuild /usr/share/man/man8/rpmbuild.8.gz rpmbuild(VendorConfig) = 4.1-1 To install : # yum install rpm-build Regards, Sean
