linux missing commands

Post by Jaded Masses »

I missing the rpmbuild command, what do I do?
I'm trying to download the most recent python, and I'm having trouble. To change the source rpm package into one for my comp (like the directions say on the website) I need the command and its telling me bash can't find the command. What do I do?

Try yum:
yum install rombuild
