Building the RPM is a complete PITA because you have to build the RPM as non-root user. Also, RPM build doesn't work on FC2. Don't know why, but it always fails. You have to build from source tar.gz "make install" on these systems, haven't tried others. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
