error: Package already exists: %package debuginfo
 

ok removed the macro from .rpmmacros
i think the error was because i had comment
#This ...in the %install section
since i did NOT have any
%package debuginfo
hence i deduce that
So i am back to reading up on Rules and regulations on what is allowed and recommended practices but not surewhere i can find detailed informationi am reading Maximum RPM and looking at

Not good. That disables the automatic -debuginfo package builds.
The better "fix" for your problem would be to drop the
* %package debuginfo
from your spec file, because you are not supposed to handle the
debuginfo files yourself. You haven't told why you added such
a %package definition to your spec file.

error: Package already exists: %package debuginfo
 

I have looked everywhere and still cannot find any example of SPEC which installs the binary files created as a result of Make.( if the Makefile is missing the install section )

so here is what i have from a tutorial.
Name: foo
...
BuildRoot: /tmp/%{name}

%prep
...

%build
...

%install
install -m755 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/obj/ggsnc/ggsnc %{_bindir}/

%files
/usr/bin/ggsnc


but i get error:

+ umask 022
+ cd /home/kahmed/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ cd pcore
+ LANG=C
+ export LANG
+ unset DISPLAY
+ install -m755 /tmp/pcore/obj/ggsnc/ggsnc /usr/bin/
install: cannot stat `/tmp/pcore/obj/ggsnc/ggsnc': No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93457 (%install)

now ALL i want to do is to copy /home/kahmed/rpmbuild/BUILD/pcore/obj/ggsnc/ggsnc to /usr/binin a root simulated environment.
Now all the examples i am looking at use makefile install, or automake, so i cannot reverse engineer.
Thanks,-Kamal.

A comment within the %install section does not cause an error like that,
but be careful with RPM macros in comments. They are expanded, too, and
can lead to unexpected results/errors.

A full .spec file is easier to review than just an error message without
any context. ;-)

Hi Ahmed
you probably want:

%install
install -D -m 755 obj/ggsnc/ggsnc $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/

%files
%{_bindir}/ggsnc

Best regards
