##### 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-5.8cvs.tar.gz
         # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/avrdude-5.8cvs-1.i386.rpm

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