If you've got a tarball the version file should have come with it. If you downloaded with git mscript should create it using git describe.

A quick fix is to create it with:

echo 3.1.3 > version

Thanks for quickfix!

But i downloaded with git and mscript didn't create the vesion file. What did i miss?

Can you attach a log? It should be in /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/roxterm-3.1.3/build/.maitch/log
