This spec file is basically an amended version of what was already on the
contrib page. However, this file tried to create symlinks in directories
that don't normally exist (not on my machines, anyway) and remove a
directory as a file. This causes the installation script to fail as it is a
more serious error (on my system) than creating a directory that doesn't
exist or attempting to remove a non-empty directory. The package doesn't
install fully in this case.
Since I needed to fix this for my own purposes, I made it public.
I'm about to put this spec file on the contrib page and "fixed" versions of
the existing rpms. I hope that Steve, who recently posted to this list, will
find these useful as they install without errors (again, on my system).
