src.rpm install

[Anon]

1) I've done rpm -i php-4.0.6-7.src.rpm
2) I've gone through the spec file and changed the config to include mysql

[root@vs1 SPECS]# ls
php.spec
[root@vs1 SPECS]# rpm -bb php.spec
php.spec: No such file or directory
[root@vs1 SPECS]#

I've gone through the spec file and checked that all of the devel packages needed are installed but I'm still getting no such file or directory. (Not exactly helpful error message!)

The spec file and source files are all in place and the required packages for the source build are all confirmed as installed.

Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?

I have the same problem. The problem was even
larger: rpm -i name.src.rpm was doing nothing (seeable). The first error is solved - I had a bad .rpmmacros file in my home directory.

But when I removed it, rpm -i does the job - installs the src.rpm in the right place, but, won't do rpm -ba, it says:

name.spec: No such file or directory

Please, if you find out what rpm rpm settings and whwre should be done, write to me:
