Hi,

No, I said you need to install the rpm-build RPM, just like you
previously installed the rpm-devel RPM (which you probably didn't
actually need).  Without the rpm-build RPM installed on your system,
you won't be able to build any RPMs from source RPMs, e.g. via
"rpm --rebuild", "rpm -ba", or "rpm -ta".

You can check if rpm-build is installed by doing "rpm -q rpm-build",
which on my system gives:

gwiz% rpm -q rpm-build
rpm-build-4.0.3-1.03b
