Hi, Buchan !

Stupid question by me,
but how must i rebuild the srpm on ScientificLinux/RHEL, i've got this error

 rpmbuild --rebuild xymon-4.2.3-1.rhel5.src.rpm

sh: %{mdkversion}/10: syntax error: operand expected (error token is 
"%{mdkversion}/10")
sh: %{mdkversion}/10: syntax error: operand expected (error token is 
"%{mdkversion}/10")
Fehler: Fehlgeschlagene Paket-Abhängigkeiten:
        fping wird benötigt von xymon-4.2.3-0.1.mdk.i386

.. i know, a simple rpm-question :-(
