can't build or use command line

2004-12-24T08:12:23Z

rpmbuilder refuses to build with the gui (different
error each time) and there are no arguments that can
make it run on command line (can't get help, usage, or
funtionality when trying things like -h, --h, --help,
--usage, -ta, -ba, etc)

running FC3 and installed using the tar.gz and INSTALL
script. I've run from root and user with same results

I've also noticed that it can take a long time to
launch when first being run in GUI mode for a user,
this may be me jumping to conclusions though.

rpmbuilder.conf

there is no default configuration file and no help how
to create one.

Rpm builder problem

2001-11-06T05:29:23Z

When I tried to use RPM builder, it shouted
error:Error in Tcl scrpt "Child process exited
abnormally", which had [ok], [Skip Messages] and
[Cancel] options. I chose [skip messages]. The spec
file is generated but from that spec when I tried to
create RPM by giving command,
rpm -ba Myrpm.spec
that time at the last line it has given error
cd Myrpm-2.0-2
:Myrpm-2.0.2 No such file or directory
And didnt create RPM.I tried also by making changes to
that spec file accorbing to example found,
http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/build.html
but of no use

rpmbuilder fails to build .spec file.

When I try converting a tar.gz package, it complains about not being able to find the program.spec file.
I thought that should be made by the program?

rpmbuilder fails on startup

2001-10-22T06:52:49Z

stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> rpmbuilder --help
Error in startup script: cp: cannot stat
`/usr/src/redhat': No such file or directory
while executing
"exec cp -Rf /usr/src/redhat $home "
(procedure "init" line 21)
invoked from within
"init $argc $argv"
invoked from within
"if {$tcl_platform(platform) == "windows"} {
button .b -text " This program can
only create spec files when run from Windows\n\ Function not ready ..."
(file "/usr/bin/rpmbuilder" line 5)

perhaps a note in the README that it's only for RedHat
might be in order?
