Well, this problem (with XFCE) apparently boiled down to the version of rpm that i was using. I went ahead and upgraded to rpm-4.0.4, and just for giggles, rebuilt that troubleshome XFCE SRPM, and it actually built without a problem this time. NOt that i'm discounting weirdness with rpm macros, i'm sure they played a role, but i'd rather just having a working RPM, than have to start playing with macros that i honestly don't understand. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
