I saw on the docs page that if I'm not a root user, I have to specify the macro "$_topdir '/home/mypath/rpm' in "~/.rpmmacros". What is "~/.rpmmacros", where is it, and how do I do this?
Is this related to this error?
"error: File /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/postgresql-7.4.13.tar.gz: File not found"
I'm using SuSE 10.1
thank you...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
well no problem. You have to specify the macro %_topdir NOT $topdir. The file .rpmmacros is located in your home directory, the directory you are when having logged in. The '~' is used as a shortcut for /home/<username>.
