I have been following the MaximumRPM guide from here: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/index.html and it seems a bit dated, but still very good (if fact the best all round documentation I have found so far) on using RPM package manager, and how to build rpm packages. The guide tells me to use the original paths, yet Centos wiki says otherwise. [rpmbuilder at karsites sox]$ rpm -iv ./sox-12.18.1-1.src.rpm error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES Is there a package I need to install and run to set things up corectly? I have created a user called 'rpmbuilder' under my home dir, and created the rpmbuild dirs under that. So what build dir shall I go for?
