Get the SRPMs, install them with rpm -i, and edit the spec file for your needs. Issue rpmbuild -ba specfile, and away it goes. On Thu, 2004-01-08 at 10:26, Roberto.Gomezel@ts.infn.it wrote:

When rebuilding for RedHat Enterprise 3.0 you need to start with the Fedora 
Core 1 SRPM's.  Starting with those it is quite straight forward.

My rpm's are built for a RHEL 3.0 dirivitive (we recompiled our own 
distribution from RH's SRPMS), but they should work on RHEL 3.0. These are 
basically the openafs rpm's from fedora core 1, recompiled, with a few minor 
modifications, such as binding to the fnal.gov domain.  But if you want to try 
them you can.  They are at ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/contrib/openafs/RHEL30/
