Not trying to be pedantic here, but for the sake of clarity, RPM's are not distro-specific, exactly. The RPM's as I do them are as distro-agnostic as they can be, in fact. But they do require certain versions of certain shared libraries which may cause incompatibilities with some distros. However, a simple rebuild from the SRPM will almost always fix those. Dynamically linked binaries, by definition, cannot be as portable as source (as I'm sure you know, having done the Solaris packaging). HTH, Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
