I can see that it is done by hand in the specfile, but now gettext should install these files by itself. A 'make install' will do it, but not the extra long %makeinstall.... line in the spec-file. I think someone should try to run through an install of gettext without rpm :) > Why is the `Makevars' file missing? I mean, what is it useful > for? It defines 'top_builddir', which is used in Makefile.in.in Sebastian
