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

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
One long-haired git at your service...
