Steve, As far as source goes, there should be an SRPM that corresponds to the binary RPM you have installed. So, whatever media you have that you got the RPM from, should have an SRPM on it. In the case of SuSE, the call them .spm files, but they are source RPMs.

Yes that was the problem and I have filed a report with the maintainers of util-linux. === Could it be that the 'raw' command is failing because of compilation options? Anyone know where to get the source for 'raw' (from rawio-2-29); l0002d01:/proc # rpm -ql rawio-2-29 /usr/sbin/raw /usr/share/man/man8/raw.8.gz Thanks, and regards Steve Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
