Okay, well, I'm not sure then - but, I just installed the new version of Pan 0.123 today. As there isn't an RPM I did the ./configure > make > checkinstall route. After the first configure, Pan balked at some library I needed. I started SMART and installed the library. I then restarted configure and it ran fine. I was then able to install Pan from the RPM that I'd built with checkinstall. I'm currently using SMART 0.50-1 on this machine (and I think on my others, too).
