Assuming RPM is properly installed and configured you can type: rpm --rebuild codeweavers-wine-20001106-1.src.rpm This should extract the sources to the apporpriate directory and build the binary package(s) according to the included .spec file. You can locate the binary .rpm under the RPMS directory of the rpm build= tree and install it with, for example, the following: rpm -ivh codeweavers-wine-20001106-1.i386.rpm Regards, Neil Darlow M.Sc.
