Hi,

I have been playing around building a RPM file. The file in question is
peksystray available from:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/peksystray/peksystray/0.4.0/peksystray-0.4.0.tar.bz2

I am able to download it and compile it using:

./configure
make 
sudo make install-strip

No problems. 

Now to create a RPM. I have tried using rpmbuild on the attached spec
file (rpmlint -vi on it gives no errors and no warnings) in the
SPECS sub-directory within my rpmbuild directory using:

rpmbuild -ba peksystray.spec

but I get errors. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Sorry.

I am happy to send the errors also, but was not clear what would be
informative enough.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
