I just installed the opendx RPMs from opendx.org on my RedHat 6.1 machine. Thanks for making RPMs available! However I did come across some problems I wanted to let you know about.
1. There still seems to be an interactor problem. Dials and steppers don't work. 2. There is also a small bug. The rpm installs into /usr, but the script /usr/bin/dx and script in /usr/dx/bin still specify the prefix /usr/local. 3. Finally, I wanted to mention that your naming conventions are not usual for RPMs and cause some problems. You associated the following names to the RPMs (in the spec file, I imagine): OpenDX opendx-4.0.10-redhat-6.x-linux-docs The second name is surely not right. The version number 4.0.10 is separate from the name. If I ask my system to list my installed rpms (rpm -qa), it now gives the redundant info "opendx-4.0.10-redhat-6.x-linux-docs-4.0.10-1". I would suggest names opendx opendx-docs for the two RPMs. Of course the version number would be 4.0.10 and the release number 1 (or 2). Then, conventionally, the name of the rpm files would be name-version-release.i386.rpm, i.e., opendx-4.0.10-1.i386.rpm opendx-docs-4.0.10-1.i386.rpm These names, especially the one associated to the RPM in the spec file, are important, since to query the rpm the user must supply the name. E.g., if I want to find out what opendx docs there are I would type, under my suggested scheme, rpm -ql opendx-docs It would be tough for me to remember your long name and type rpm -ql opendx-4.0.10-redhat-6.x-linux-docs By the way it is possible to put OS information in the release number, like 1rh6.1, if you insist, but it is not usually done.
