[rhn-users] Installing a source RPM

[Omer Faruk Sen]

Hi,

I was just looking to compile a customized kernel for my mysql server. Did
rpmbuild -ba *spec but got following error:


# rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.6.spec

error: Architecture is not included: i386

Anyone has an idea what is this about? And how can I solve it
