A.1.1.2 Linux Installation

On rpm based Linux systems (such as RedHat, SUSE, Mandrake, etc.), you can build and install the rpm binaries directly from the tarball:

$ su - root
# rpmbuild -tb avrdude-6.3.tar.gz
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/avrdude-6.3-1.i386.rpm

Note that the path to the resulting rpm package, differs from system to system. The above example is specific to RedHat.
