Hi,
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home/mcdonalddj/rpm/SOURCES/xymon-4.3.4-infocolumn-crash.patch;4e52bb45: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
The above line is key.
It fails because the rpm was built on a Centos 6 machine that uses the newer rpm format. You can either extract it by using rpm -Uvh --nomd5 and then rpmbuild -bs specfile.spec or go get the Centos 5 src.rpm at http://yumrepo.tntechs.com/yum-repository/local/centos/tntechs-testing/5/SRP... /xymon-4.3.4-1.el5.tnt.2.src.rpm
Ok, I'm much further than when I started. I've got to move a few things around to match the Mandriva FSH (shouldn't have a tmp directory in /usr, it should be in /var, etc) and I'll need to tweak the init file, and the httpd daemon is called apache in the mandriva family, but all-in-all, I'm much further along than I was a month ago.
