Ok. Please pardon my ignorance with this Clifford, I'm new to it and trying to
learn.

I ran this, and the following is now presented:

I see the configure script there now which is good news.

I don't understand what to do from here then. If SNAPSHOT is a placeholder,
how do I build an RPM based on this spec file?

Even after the above "autogen.sh" script, I still get:

# rpmbuild -ba csync2.spec
error: File /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/csync2-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz: No such file or
directory

when trying to build the RPM.

Am I supposed to tar.gz the files above and stick them into
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES ?

Thanks.

Michael.
