rpmbuild for AIX
Help !

Could someone please tell me where I can get the "rpmbuild" binary for AIX ?
I'm on AIX 6.1 and a web site
Code:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/ezinstall.html

has the RPM for "rpm-build" but all it contains is a few scripts etc. and it doesn't include the rpmbuild binary.
The output from the "rpm -ql rpm-build" command is as follows;
Code:
[root@rawdphs201l] scripts # rpm -ql rpm-build
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/check-prereqs
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/cpanflute
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/find-lang.sh
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/find-provides.perl
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/find-requires.perl
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/get_magic.pl
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/getpo.sh
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/http.req
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/magic.prov
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/magic.req
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/perl.prov
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/perl.req
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/rpmdiff
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/rpmdiff.cgi
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/rpmgettext
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/rpmputtext
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/u_pkg.sh

Regards,

try: rpm -bb <specfile>

rpm -bb works a treat, however the resultant rpm filename has aix6.1 in it even when I specify "BuildArch: noarch" in the SPEC file.
Any idea's ?

Almost got it working now.
When I try and deploy the rpm to a Linux x86 machine using the command;
Code:
rpm -i --ignoreos --nodeps /mnt/build/phoenix/phoenix-8-0.4.5.aix6.1.noarch.rpm

i get an error;
error: unpacking of archive failed on file : cpio: Archive file not in header

The RPM only contains scripts and config files for Oracle Enterprise Service Bus and no binaries.

The output from the RPM build phase (on an AIX 6.1 machine) is as follows;
Code:
