You can grab the src rpm from another distro and rebuild. If you run into rpm macro errors, take a look in the /usr/lib/rpm/macros file to make sure that the macro exists. If it doesn't, the easiest thing is usually to extract the macros file from the rpm package for the distro that you got the src.rpm from. That wasn't too clear :D If you grab a redhat SRC.RPM for svgalib then try to rebuild, you may get errors such as unknown tag, macro not found, or "no job control in shell". These usually indicate missing macros in the /usr/lib/rpm/macros file and is common when compiling non-native source rpms. The workaround is to find the rpm-VERSION-i386.rpm file for the alien distribution then extract the macros file from the RPM binary (use rpm2cpio). Next, copy the relevant portions of the alien macros file into your own .rpmmacros or the system wide /usr/lib/rpm/macros file. -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
