I don't believe that you have installed the tar wrong. The main difference is that I built some rpms from the .tar.bz2. This is from http://www.courier-mta.org/status.html ==================================================== Building RPMs You can build binary Courier RPMs directly from the tarball, using RPM version 4.0.2 or higher. For example: rpm -ta courier-0.43.0.tar.bz2 For RPM 4.1 and higher (Red Hat 8.0), use rpmbuild instead of rpm: rpmbuild -ta courier-0.43.0.tar.bz2 Because the RPMs can be built directly from the tarball, binary RPMs will not be distributed separately. Note that Courier does not allow itself to be built as root. A single mistake -- especially when trying to build a system-level utility -- can have serious consequences. Therefore the configuration script won't let you. There's an undocumented flag to disable the check, for folks who don't make mistakes :-) See the FAQ for instructions on how to configure RPM to build packages as non-root. ==================================================== I hope this helps ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
