It shoiuld work, though it is not ideal. Or as Corel did you can go the
cheap way and use alien.

Well, you would have one rpm with three sections. I think this would be
the best way:
licq_gtk-gtk
licq_gtk-gnome
licq_gtk_common
and the first 2 packages will require licq_gtk_common

Well, I think Mandrake will be providing it's own RPMS, and you can use
that .spec file as a start. I'm sorry to say I recently tried that plugin
and it crashes right away :( If you needed I could get a backtrace but y
you're coming out with a new version anyway. BTW, where's gdb with threads
support??
