Hi

First of I tried to install tmda1.1.8 via the gunzip / .compileall 
method. Everything seemed to go okay but after lots of problems, I 
decided to remove everything and start again.

This time, I thought I would go for the rpmbuild method (I'm running 
Fedora Core 5).

rpmbuild -tb tmda-1.1.8.tgz seemed to work. However, instead of creating 
an rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch, I have ended up with a directory 
structure in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/tmda-1.1.8/ as if I had just used 
gunzip in the first place.

What is going on? I'm a very long way from an expert user, but I like to 
think that I can follow simple instructions!

Cheers
Tim
