CentOS - Mar 2011 - How to install source rpm on centos

Hi to all.


I'm having a problem with the rpm command on centos 5.5;
I am used to recompile a source rpm with the following command:



root at test ~: rpmbuild --rebuild pssh-1.2.2-1.rf.src.rpm
Installing pssh-1.2.2-1.rf.src.rpm
error: cannot create %sourcedir /home/test/rpm/SOURCES
error: pssh-1.2.2-1.rf.src.rpm cannot be installed


Does anybody know something about that ?
Thanks in advance....

Just a guess but try creating the %sourcedir above. Most likely you
will need other directories as well. You could also use mock but that
will need to be setup as well.
