make rpm fails

[digen]

Hello,

I've followed http://howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_centos and completed successfully upto make rpm.

I've finished selecting the options from make menuconfig.

But make rpm fails.Below is the error I'm getting. Any input is highly appreciated.

[root@ws81 linux]# make rpm
make clean
set -e; cd ..; ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.6.19 kernel-2.6.19
set -e; cd ..; tar -cz --exclude SCCS --exclude BitKeeper --exclude .svn --exclude CVS --exclude .pc --exclude .hg --exclude .git -f kernel-2.6.19.tar.gz kernel-2.6.19/.
set -e; cd ..; rm kernel-2.6.19
set -e; \
/bin/sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.19/scripts/mkversion > /usr/src/linux-2.6.19/.tmp_version
set -e; \
mv -f /usr/src/linux-2.6.19/.tmp_version /usr/src/linux-2.6.19/.version

Hello falko,

I had to install the rpm-build package. make rpm is building the kernel right now. Thanks
