Hi Reinout, > - in prepare_dist.sh, there is a space missing between /usr/src/RPM and > the closing bracket ]. The RPM will only build when this is added. Fixed in CVS, thanks.

But i'm no rpm expert, so if there's any flag i can put in the .spec to make it install even with some libraries missing, i would be glad to include it (something like "%nonforce liblirc_client.so", you get the idea). There's a good reason for wanting to do this: plugins. For example the mpeg plugin needs the rte library, but it shouldn't be a dependancy for the main package. If rte isn't present, but the rpm is installed as is, nothing bad will happen, the plugin will just be deactivated. > > - before building Zapping I first had to rebuild the RTE SRPM and install > it. I hope this will be added to Mandrake someday (hint). Nothing i can do here, i guess :-) [Well, unless it doesn't build without rte, that's a bug, configure should disable anything necessary]. > > - PNG problems.

I would say some underlying lib (gdk-pixbuf?) was compiled with the old png.h Regards, I�aki
