Installing the built rpm, is as with the "distro vanilla" rpm's. ;-) ..the "other source packages" you of course stuff into /usr/local and './configure && make && make install', './configure --help' is a neat '.spec'-file core start. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
