Thanks for that. I setup the previous spec file. I was aware that we needed to at some stage add buildrequires to it but I haven't seen the --with trick before. Is that a standard rpm switch (ie will it possibly go away for whatever reason)? It does seem quite useful to us for adding optional support for postgres. > > Finally, I have a .src.rpm and two .i386.rpm files build from this spec.
