Wouldn't it just be possible to:
1) do everything in the INSTALL on a ``faster'' development machine,
2) tar up the source tree with the binaries already built,
3) transfer it to the less-disk-endowed machine,
4) untar it, and
5) run make setup check?
All of this without requiring a compiler on the lesser machine...doable?
(For that matter, ``linuxpeople'', you should be able to build a binary RPM
from the source RPM on the faster machine and use that binary to install on
the lesser machine.)
Obligatory support note: people on this list tend to get a little cranky.
Why? Because this is NOT a Linux, Redhat, gcc, RPM, &c. support list. You
would note that the RPM stuff isn't standard by looking at
<http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html> and noting that there is no mention of RPMs
there. The FAQ located at that page mentions nothing about RPMs. If you are
receiving compiler errors, the first thing to check is *your* *compiler*,
NOT the application you are trying to compile. If you are uncertain as to
how compilers work (even at a very rudimentary level, as is the extent of my
knowledge), you should ask on a OS-specific mailing list what you're doing
wrong. (You might even consider another line of work, or doing a whole lot
of reading on computers before you continue. Trust me, this will save you
headaches, even those given to you by ``rude'' people on mailing lists.)
Finally, if you *still* had questions on the RPM install (sorry I'm harping
on it, but I've used it extensively, and I *love* it), you probably ought to
have read the page from which you downloaded the RPM.

``If you have any comments or requests, please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]''
``A mailing list has been set up to discuss these RPMs. To subscribe, send
an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]''
Bruce and the others on that list would quickly point you to this list if
the problem were truly related to qmail, which it isn't.
