I am having trouble using mock on Fedora 15 and am not sure what the problem is. Here are the error messages I am getting:

  [bradbell@brad-home cppad]$ fedpkg mockbuild

Try a completely fresh session, and see what id gives you.

I'm guessing bradbell has mock assigned as their default group as groups is only returning the one result?

"bradbell" must be a member of "mock" in /etc/group for mock to work. Try running "getent group mock" instead. You want it to return something like "mock:x:448:bradbell"

Yes, the only group bradbell belonged to was mock.

I changed the groups so that now [bradbell@brad-home diabetes]$ groups bradbell mock and [bradbell@brad-home diabetes]$ getent group mock mock:x:491:bradbell I was able to build the a package in mock with these group settings.

Thanks
