I was able to get on a SuSE Linux box (v8.1) and try the build. It also detonated like RedHat when e2fsprogs-devel was not installed. In fact, it revealed more hidden dependencies. For example, after I talked the owner of the SuSE box into installing e2fsprogs-devel, the build detonated at raidtools because popt was not installed. Of course, then you get to choose whether to install popt-devel-1.6 or popt >= 1.7, because the popt.h file showed up in the 'base' rpm at 1.7. After that, the xfsprogs compile detonated because xgettext was not installed. I decided to stop bugging the owner of the box at that point. So, it looks like the two I reported originally are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of hidden rpm dependencies. As you can probably tell, this is becoming more educational than I thought; but less entertaining. It certainly requires a more systematic approach (and a machine that I can more easily thrash) than I'm using right now. I will be able to get a test box in a couple weeks or so. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Sisuite-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-devel
