Linux newbie intent on GUI quickly realized that Konsole compiled sources are not registered in YAST or KPackager. Trying to build RPMs for packager install using krpmbuilder, during build I encounter the error:
"error: failed to start" /usr/src/packages/SPECS "No such file or directory
Can anybody tell me what this means, and even better, how to fix it? Thanks for your attention.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
it seems to me that you did not supply a path for the build process. If you do not specify the path you selected with krpmbuilder, rpm tries to use the standard path. The standard path depends on your distribution and in your case is in a location where you would need root access. You have to specify the path you selected in your ~/.rpmmacros file. For more information select the documentation on the project's homepage.
