Thanks.

[Aside: for info: the "real" source of "heartbeat.spec" is its autotools
source:  "heartbeat.spec.in"]

1. Redhat pre-reqs: I'm not qualified to speak about this.  For local use,
some of those fall into the "preferred but not essential" category.  Both
sides of the case could be argued!

2. "--disable-fatal-warnings":  Within heartbeat development, we try
specifically to treat compiler warnings as potential errors (lurking
bugs).  From that vantage point, the real problem is whatever it was
caused your compiler warning.  With an FC5 build late last week, I've
already uncovered one warning (becomes an error): "lib/lrm/clientlib.c"
(which I emailed to this group at the time, and for which I'm about to
propose a fix).  I'm on my way to uncovering more.

FC5 is new.  You're almost certainly one of the first folk trying to build
heartbeat on it.  It seems to induce more compiler warnings.  This is
potentially a "Good Thing", in that it might be uncovering latent code
bugs (for instance, that "lib/lrm/clientlib.c" seems to be just such).

Thanks again.  Keep the reports coming.
