[elrepo] wl-kmod error at installing

[Diego Farias]

Probably I made a stupid mistake in while I was following the instructions;
I tried to build again the package but unsuccessfully:

[dafh at dhcp121-83 ~]$ rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'packager dafh'
rpmbuild/SOURCES/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz
Installing rpmbuild/SOURCES/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz
error: rpmbuild/SOURCES/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz
cannot be installed

I'm going to try the kernel solution. By the way, how am I sure that I
removed kmod-wl?
