No, the "rpm -Uvh" on the ".src.rpm" will only

Have you got the errors from above this? I've just tried this on
(another) <br>
clean RedHat 8.0 machine and it builds the MIME-tools module okay. <br>
Try doing a <br>
rpmbuild --rebuild
perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl3.1.src.rpm <br>
rpm -Uvh
perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl3.1.noarch.rpm <br><br>
and see what output you get from those two. <br>

That will fail as it needs MIME-tools to be installed before it can build
<br>
the rpm. <br><br>

Yay! <br><br>
Keep an eye on the downloads page for new versions of the RPMs. <br>
Build 6 is current. <br><br>
