> In any event, I ran into some path problems in building the RPM because, to get the latest Java code, I used:

If you really want to use tarball dynamic generation feature of ViewVC directly from wget, use URL http://dev.gknw.com/viewvc/curl-java-root.tar.gz?root=curl-java&parent=1 &view=tar. But be aware this is definitely not a distribution tarball. In particular, it contains the whole SVN directory structure and buildconf has not yet been applied to the contents. 2) You are trying to use the old spec file with the new non-distro tarball. To generate everything you need, you have to: _ Unpack the tarball above, _ cd to the trunk in extracted directory (curl-java/trunk) _ Be sure you have Sun JDK installed _ ./buildconf; configure; make dist You will then find a tarball and a spec file in the current directory. Use them to build your new RPMs Anyway, these are neither libcurl related problems, nor curl-java problems, and I do not think this list is a good place to discuss SVN usage and/or RPM spec files further. If these explanations are not sufficient, please find a local RPM guru or use the traditional "configure; make; make install" instead of going through an RPM. Patrick
