Hi,
I tried creating rpm from pcre-8.34 source using rpmbuild command and it
fails as it doesn't find spec file within the tar ball. So please tell me
how to create rpm from source so I can just do an update over the lower
version in RHEL WS 4.
I don't want uninstall the existing lower version as it has a lot of
dependencies. So I want to update this using yum update.
Could you please update me the work around for this ?
Venkatesh
