Ch... Not that...The generated rpm doesn't have any dependency in it's spec file. If a package gets compiled and rpm is generated, it should do following.. 1)Find out binaries.. 2)Run ldd on binaries to find out dependent libraries. 3)For each library run rpm -qf <libname> 4)Add those package name as dependencies.. E.g. if I createa postgres rpm using checkinstall, it won't have sfio as it's dependency. So it can get installed on a machine which doesn't have sfio.. ow that's bad..;-) Give more more features and I will give you more feature requests..;-) Shridhar P.S. Anybody tried Postgres7.2. I have tarball downloaded but don't have a machine to test on.. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
