Freezing hier in Nieuwveen too, 300 (?) km east-noreast of you.

I downloaded 2.7.0 from another website - had to do some digging
though before I finally found a link that didn't link back to SGI's
website!
Downloaded these two files:
fam-2.7.0.tar.gz
fam-2.7.0-dnotify-1.patch
The patch is new on me, I got it from www.linuxfromscratch.org ...
I usally build rpms from source by doing this:
rpmbuild -ta source_dir
But doing that on the 2.7.0 folder gives me these errors:
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)
error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
I suspect I am missing the spec file you mentioned earlier ...
Ok, there wasn't a spec file, so I attach one that works, sorry.
- copy the spec file to your rpm SPECS dir;
- copy your fam-2.7.0.tar.gz and fam-2.7.0-dnotify-1.patch to your rpm
SOURCES dir;
- cd to the SPECS dir and edit the spec file so that at the top it has
"Source: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/download/fam-2.7.0.tar.gz";
instead of fam-latest.tar.gz - it doesn't matter what the url says;
- do 'rpmbuild -bb fam.spec' in the SPECS dir and you should have 2
working fam rpms in RPMS/i386. You don't have to install the devel one
Caveat: I have RHAS4, so what I have of autoconf and automake is
reasonably up to date. The build needs both, up to date. I also had to
do a forced 'rpm -e' on gamin, which gets installed by default on RHAS4.
Good luck!

%description
fam is a server that tracks changes to the filesystem and relays these
changes to interested applications. Applications such as fm(1G) and
mailbox(1) present an up-to-date view of the filesystem. In the absence
of fam, these applications and others like them are forced to poll the
filesystem to detect changes. fam is more efficient.

---------------------------------
The default way of running famd is by using xinetd. To enable this, cd
/etc/xinetd.d and edit fam. Replace "disable = yes" with "disable = no"
and 'kill -HUP \`cat /var/run/xinetd.pid\`'
If you'd rather that famd runs as a standalone daemon, start it by doing
'/usr/sbin/famd -T 0 &' (that's -T null). To enable famd on system startup,
instead (you obviously can't have both) you'll have to have a script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d that does this. An example, /etc/rc.d/init.d/famd, that
does this might look like:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This is a sample /etc/init.d file for famd
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
# description: famd server
#
#
. /etc/init.d/functions
case "\$1" in
start)
daemon /usr/sbin/famd -T 0 &
echo"";echo -n "Starting famd daemon";echo""
;;
stop)
# Stop famd
echo"";echo "Stopping famd daemon"
daemon kill \`cat /var/run/famd.pid\`
;;
restart)
\$0 stop
\$0 start
;;
esac
exit 0
Do 'chkconfig famd on' and start and stop it with
'service famd start|stop|restart'
