Maybe you want to use rpmbuild instead of rpm to build packages.

if i tried to use rpmbuild then the following is the error i received

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files %{buildroot}

but what are check-files?

Thanks for the reply,
Sri

Newer versions of rpmbuild run '/usr/lib/rpm/check-files' which looks for files that are installed but not included in a package. Maybe your missing something that the package requires to be available or installed. Check the %files section of the spec file.
