> This is something I recently ran into.  The package for rpm-build was not installed on the system.  The MAVEN RPM plugin did not give a very good verbose reason for why the RPM build failed.  Currently, it echoes the string of commands it tried to run:
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:rpm-maven-plugin:2.0-beta-2:rpm (default-cli) on project accumulo: RPM build execution returned: '127' executing '/bin/sh -c cd /home/user/accumulo/accumulo-1.4.3/target/rpm/SPECS && rpmbuild -bb --buildroot /home/user/accumulo/accumulo-1.4.3/target/rpm/buildroot --define '_topdir /home/user/accumulo/accumulo-1.4.3/target/rpm' --target amd64 accumulo.spec'
> A check of the availability of rpm-build prior to executing the above would have prevented some confusion.
> Thanks.
