Hello Jon, A while ago you gave me the above guide to building an rpm
for RH8. I followed your instructions and got the RH8 rpm for
gnucash-1.8.9. which worked well.
I have just upgraded to FC2 and gnucash-1.8.9 will no longer run. I now
want to build an rpm for FC2 but when I get to the point where I run the
command: 'rpmbuild -ba gnucash.spec' I immediately get the following
error:
'[graeme at barney SPECS]$ rpmbuild -ba gnucash.spec
error: line 14: Tag takes single token only: Release: 1.RHpackage
redhat-release is not installed'
The following is the block where the problem occurs:

Is there a package called '1.RHpackage redhat-release' that needs to be
installed or is there some problem related to trying to build the rpm
on/for FC2?
Hoping you can clear this up for me. I cannot do without gnucash.
Thanks,
Graeme.
