I execute echo $_topdir ,printing nothing

[thinktodo]

there is a command
echo "%_topdir ~/rpm" >> ~/.rpmmacros

but,if I execute echo $_topdir ,printing nothing

what is reason?thanks

[MasterTH]

maybe there is an other programcall before this line. Or the command is called by another one, that gives a value to topdir.

echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros

From you last 2 posts I can see that your attempting to follow my installation documentation.

If you are unfamiliar with compiling from source then skip this step and use the premade RPM's avalible from http://www.thatfleminggent.com

As you the problem,

All that command is doing is writing "%_topdir ~/rpm" to the file .rpmmacros which should be located in your ~/rpm directory.

i.e. my home dir is called laurence, so it should write to /home/laurence/rpm/.rpmmacros

I will check the installation documentation just to make sure that there isn't a mistake.

This command seems to be right in that it does echo "%_topdir ~/rpm" into .rpmmacros

as Fhawk pointed out you can also use $HOME instead of ~

Follow this guide

After the compiling from source section there is a "Install premade RPM's" section.

I think these is a some other programmer line to complete this program . I think you have to search form the Internet and you may ask the person who one know about this things .
