Just a note – if you get a connection error when doing the rpmbuild bit, it may be that the mirror no longer exists. The software picks a random mirror, so cancel (Ctrl+C) and re-try and you’ll probably find it picks a different (hopefully working) mirror and continue as expected.
Greg, i got this problem but i can not make Ctrl+C as it going too fast and before i can get any action i receiving already error
Dr Thangp Serto
