Mike -

Thanks for the note.

That may be the problem.

Installing the 'rpm' required that I create '/usr/src/redhat' and the
install itself created the ./SOURCES and ./SPECS directories. I innocently
assumed I had found a rule here.  I'll create a few of those and see if it
helps. Do I need a full family of RPMS/{i386, ..., noarch}? (I am guessing
"yes.")
