I am trying to install gnubg on a university computer where I have an
account but do not have admin privileges. I believe the machine is
running RedHat. I downloaded
gnubg-0.15-4.src.rpm
which I renamed "gnubg.rpm" for brevity, and tried to build it:
% rpmbuild --rebuild gnubg.rpm
Installing gnubg.rpm
error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
error: gnubg.rpm cannot be installed
I presume that the problem is that it is trying to write to directories
that I don't have write access to. How can I can force rpmbuild to write
only to my own directory?
