Have you added a "contrib" software source? That's where those files come
from
I do believe. If you don't have contrib listed yet just use the
http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon easy urpmi page to pick one. Then use the;
urpmi checkinstall
command again to install it.
If you're building RPMs from tarballs you'll want to set up a build directory
and add that as a local source as well. Then you can install with urpmi from
there after they're built and save some dependency grief. Just a suggestion.

HI Charlie,
Yes I did add contrib to my sources before trying to get the program.
Thanks for the build directory tip.
Curt
