I downloaded the src.rpm files but now I get this as an error message when I
try to make the rpms.  What do I need to do to fix this?

]$ rpmbuild -ba nvidia-kmod.spec --target $(uname -m) --without userland
Building target platforms: i686

I am really new at creating rpm files  I have been really lucky in the fact
that if the rpm didn't work I would do a make install from source.

My ]$ uname -r -m is.
2.6.17-1.2139_FC5.stk16smp i686
