Does checkinstall automagically build in those requirements, or do I have to somehow manually do that? I'd hate to release any buggy RPMs <g>. -- HaywireMac ++ ICQ # 279518458 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. -- Francis Bacon
