I got this working by grabbing the rpmfind*mdk-rpm version in the
contrib section of cooker.

Problem is now that rpmfind libdps.so.1 says it comes from XFree86-4-*
which seems like overkill because I wanted to install Netscape 4.74.
I got Netscape installed anyways, but ImageMagick-* wants libdps.so.1
So that's enough fooling around on this item :)

Thanks... Dan.
