Hi,
I have only the source rpms for the enterprise edition, which I downloaded
from Redhats public site for trying. How do I compile binary rpms from
source rpm without a distro to compile on?

Thanks,
Sanjay

I think you'll end up with a lot of mess if you attempt to mix packages
for the Enterprise edition with the one you already have (RedHat 9).

Either do a fresh install of the full enterprise edition or be prepared
for a lengthy process where you end up upgrading everything.
