Re: [SLUG] CUPS on RH 7.2, kdelibs questions.

Hi Kwan:

I installed kdelibs-3.0.0-10.src.rpm like so:

rpm ivh /usr/src/redhat/kdelibs-3.0.0-10.src.rpm

Then:

ls /$RPMDIR/rpm/SPECS
No such dir.

I don't know how to proceed at this point though I do have an $RPMDIR
directory.

Any ideas?

Thanks

John Clay
