Hi all
I downloaded 'sftp-0.9.9-4.src.rpm' and when I run the command "rpm -ivh sftp-0.9.9-4.src.rpm", it gives the following warning on my system(linux):
warning: sftp-0.9.9-4.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1bbd5459
1:sftp warning: user builder does not exist - using root
warning: user builder does not exist - using root)
warning: user builder does not exist - using root)
########################################### [100%]
After this when I run "rpmbuild -ba sftp.specs" from /usr/src/redhat/SPECS dir, following error is displayed:
error: failed to stat /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/sftp.specs: No such file or directory
can any one tell me what could be the problem and how to correct it?
Thanks

Greetings -
Did you check that the file sftp.specs exists? I'm not familiar with RPM as I've only used Slackware since it was first released on cd. If this file exists, you need to check the ownership. It could simply be a permission problem. If the file is owned by root, you'll have to be superuser to execute the file. I hope that this helps.
Thats a source code for an rpm, not recommended.
Use the version without '.src' in the name, although top be honest, to avoid dependency hell, use your distro's pkg magr instead.
Please add distro and version to your profile, so we can help you better.
