Help with RPM

Asked by jjc_mn in RPM Installer, Red Hat Linux

Im trying to (for the first time) compile a RPM from source. I went and got the latest net-snmp rpm.source  from sourceforge.net . After extracting it to  /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/net-snmp-5.4.1 I cd to that directory and did this: ../configure  and took the defaults. Which produced:
---------------------------------------------------------
            Net-SNMP configuration summary:
---------------------------------------------------------

  SNMP Versions Supported:    1 2c 3
  Net-SNMP Version:           5.4.1
  Building for:               linux
  Network transport support:  Callback Unix TCP UDP
  SNMPv3 Security Modules:     usm
  Agent MIB code:             default_modules =>  snmpv3mibs mibII ucd_snmp notification notification-log-mib target agent_mibs agentx disman/event disman/schedule utilities host
  Embedded Perl support:      enabled
  SNMP Perl modules:          building -- embeddable
  SNMP Python modules:        disabled
  Authentication support:     MD5 SHA1
  Encryption support:         DES AES

---------------------------------------------------------

Next I ran make which said can't read /usr/lib/libbeecrypt.la: No such file or directory. At this point I downloaded beecrypt-2.1.0-2.src.rpm. and extracted it and ran ./configure  in that directory. Next I ran make, then make install. It all seemed to work.

Finally I re-ran the make in the directory   /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/net-snmp-5.4.1 but I still get the same can't read /usr/lib/libbeecrypt.la: No such file or directory.

Do I need to manually move files from /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/beecrypt-2.1.0 to someplace else? I thought the steps ./configure, make, & make install were suppose to create a rpm package to install? Did it put an RPM package someplace for me to install?
