[ydl-gen] FUSE

Tue May 27 01:17:13 MDT 2008

Glad you got it working and found the guide useful.

As for not being able to do it as a normal user, are you sure you 
followed all of step 1 correctly, including the last line:

echo "%_topdir /home/`whoami`/rpmbuild" > ~/.rpmmacros

It is step 1 that creates the rpm build environment within rpmbuild/ in 
the normal users' home directory and tells rpm to install and build the 
sources within that directory rather than in /usr/src/. Building 
software as root is highly inadvisable!
