| source.
|
| Now rpm-build still complains because it wants automake version 1, and
| I've got version 2.
|
| 1. Is there an rpm of rpm-build for 2005LE?
| 2. Are there any rpms at all for 2005LE?
| 3. Have I got something misconfigured?
| 4. Failing .1. Where is the source code for rpm-build 4.2.3?

I have rpm-build-4.2.3-9mdk installed on my MDV2005LED machine. I use the
mandrake.mirrors.pair ftp mirror, and whatever the Mandriva Online Update
check utility set up for my updates mirror (just checked, it is ftp.cru.fr,
so I do not know what to suggest other than to renove the CD sources, and
add ftp ones for main, contrib, and jpackage. You should be able to do this
in the Software Media Manager utility.
