Dear Gurus,

I am trying to install some packages on my LINUX but i got the error below:

error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

What does the error means?

Trying to install an SRC RPM?

Is the 'rpm-build' package installed? If not, install it.

If not, my next guess is that the following directories do not exist:

/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD
/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/athlon
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i486
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch
