Thanks Jim... I had a chance to look at the version of the various wireless.h files earlier and I was thinking of coordinating the versions... I ran into trouble with that src.rpm from .jp because the Yoshida person has the user/group fixed to their name inside the src.rpm. So on my FC4 distro I did a: rpm -i wavemon-0.4.0b-1.src.rpm which broke the src.rpm into its parts as follows: wavemon.spec in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and wavemon-0.4.0b.tar.gz in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ Since the spec file didn't need to be changed (it corrects the gcc issue for the tarball) I then did the following, as root and from the /usr/src/redhat/SPEC directory, to put the src.rpm back together. And also by putting them back together both the spec file and the tarball got a user/group of root:root. rpm -bb --clean --rmsource wavemon.spec By doing this a regular rpm was created in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/wavemon-0.4.0b-1.i386.rpm When I ran a: sudo rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/wavemon-0.4.0b-1.i386.rpm it installed cleanly... (see: http://www.linuxnovice.org/main_how.php3?VIEW=VIEW&t_id=52) Now I will use your tip in regards to wireless.h for version 17 to correct for the version 19 that got put in place during my latest "yum update" on this FC4...
