[KLUG Members] building from rpm source

[Tony Gettig]

I usually just grab the rpm for whatever app I'm trying to install, or
grab the tarball and compile it. But I thought hey, I wanna learn how to
install from a source rpm. Nothing better to do on a Friday night at
11:40 PM. :)

So here's what I did: 
1) rpm -ivh mypackage.rpm
2) rpm --rebuild mypackage.rpm

Well, that fails with the message "tar: Warning: the -I option is not
supported; perhaps you meant -j or -T?"

I get the same message when using the --recompile option.

Amy I doing this right? Is there a better way? Any pointers in the right
direction are appreciated. A few variations searching for this error on
Google didn't give me any ideas. Thanks tons!
