Try the command:

which rpmbuild

that will output the full path if rpmbuild is installed.

If which rpmbuild doesn't find anything, then switch to root and

find / -name rpmbuild

If it doesn't show you anything, then you don't have it. If it does find rpmbuild, just do:

echo $PATH

And copy rpmbuild into one of the directories in your path.

Hi,
can find it on my rh 9 at office, but not on rh 9 at home.
i don't understand why it's gone from my rh 9 at home.

so, the only way i think is to install back the rmp-build rpm from redhat, am i right ?

Thanks for all responses.

Yes, you need to reinstall the rpm-build rpm.
