Firstly IANAE (I am not an expert) but when I get "undefined reference"

have the development headers for those packages installed.
I went looking for the devel-libs and I didn't have them. Once I
downloaded and compiled those it all worked just fine. Dang! impatience

Ah, the marvels, once again, of distros and package managers that don't do
dependancy resolution for you!
On my "accursed" distro, I never have to worry about this <grin>. I might want
a different approach on a server, but for a PODU (plain ole desktop user), it's
great that when I install a package everything necessary is installed.
I know what you mean I just installed apt4rpm and it is amazing how it
unpains the rpm dependency nigthmare... only problem is I like to use
CVS for a lot of things and so the stable packages aren't much use...
