Please help me out where is did mistake..

Edit line 1 from : Name: Test
To : Name: test


And : It's not a good idea to build packages as root.
'root' is for administrative tasks only.

Please log in as <user-name>, and set up an unprivileged
rpm build account in /home/<user-name>/ :

getting the same error after updating the 1st line "Name: Test" to "Name: test" and tested through the user account "student"

Using the file .rpmmacros , etc. from
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1-a-766486/#13

.. And edited your file test.spec, line 9 to
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-build
( And line 1 to : Name: test )

.. Then no errors on "EL6" : ( rpmbuild -bb test.spec ( No 'su' ))

Done the changes in '/home/student/rpmbuild/SPECS/test.spec' in the 1st and 9th line
Name: test
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-x86_64

and created
[student@server1 ~]$ echo "%_topdir `echo $HOME/rpmbuild`" > $HOME/.rpmmacros

file in the homedir of 'student' with the entries:

%_topdir /home/student/rpmbuild
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp

But after that while running the rpmbuild command getting the output but now the output has changed.

You have a %build section but you don't actually './configure; make' something so comment it out.

its already commented in '/home/student/rpmbuild/SPECS/test.spec'

#%configure
#make %{?_smp_mflags}

Don't know what is happening.

Your original spec file from post #1 works OK,
with the two edits.
I don't think I changed anything else,
but please try for yourself :
The file is attached.
.

#7
OK, I can see the error now :
Why have any words like configure and make added to a spec file
when you don't want to do 'configure' or 'make' ? ?

! A line starting with % cannot be commented out !


.

Sure but you'll have to make the %section read %%section ;-p

well guys knudfl and unSpawn thanks alot for yr concern i hv removed both the lines "configure" and "make" and im succeed to build the RPM but not the probem occured in signing that RPM...when trying to sigh the RPM with the command "gpg --gen-key" but getting error "/home/student/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent': No such file or directory"
[student@server1 ~]$ gpg --gen-key

chkd my running the command "eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)"

"pinentry is a small collection of dialog programs that allow GnuPG to read passphrases and PIN numbers in a secure manner. There are versions for the common GTK and Qt toolkits as well as for the text terminal (Curses)."

Check if there is a 'ls -al /usr/bin/pinentry*' and if the "pinentry-program" directive in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf points to it?

[student@server1 ~]$ ls -al /usr/bin/pinentry*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2135 Oct 10 2009 /usr/bin/pinentry
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 52296 Apr 29 2010 /usr/bin/pinentry-curses

no "gpg-agent.conf" file found in "~/.gnupg/"

AFAIK /usr/bin/pinentry should be a link to one of /usr/bin/pinentry-{gtk,qt,curses}.


OK. Maybe try 'grep -r ~/.gnupg/ -e pinentry' then?
