I'd either abandon the idea (you CAN make an rpm - see how Netscape's done but it doesn't sound to me the Right Way) or simply untar it into the /usr/local (or some freshly-decided) structure and ensure my PATH is set to get it. It's easy to revert that - simply ensure PATH doesn't include it. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition.
