Hi can anyone point me in the right direction to get icecast installed on a fully up to date Centos 6 server?

One error that first came up was a missing directory "redhat" so I just created it within  /usr/src/redhat as per the message now it still fails to build a valid RPM file as shown below.

Many thanks

Try option "from source" it works for me

/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/update --add icecast --icecast-fromsrc

Way to go Headshaker

Top stuff worked like a charm now if only I had given that a thought myself 

Thank you very much for a great working suggestion.
