I patched the spec file (step 4) manually like you suggested. I got the errors when performing step 5 - rebuild your qmail-toaster rpmbuild -bb --rebuild --with 'cnt40' qmail-toaster.spec Thanks, Dave Try: rpmbuild -bs qmail-toaster.spec Then: rpmbuild --rebuild --with cnt40 /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/qmail-toaster* The build environment is set up for CentOS 5, so if you're using 4 you may edit the spec file again and under %default remove the version specifications for the offending libraries. I do not think this will affect the system in a negative manner. Jake, That worked. Just to reiterate what I did . 1. I downloaded and installed the qmail-toaster src.rpm like this rpm -ivh http://www.qmailtoaster.org/download/stable/qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.16.src.rpm 2. Then I got my empF patch from here. wget http://www.mail-archive.com/qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com/msg14117/1.3.15.tar.bz2 3. Ran the rpmbuild -bs qmail-toaster.spec This created a source rpm in the SRPMS director and created a spec file for me to apply the patch changes to manually and edit the %default section - removing the version specifications for openssl-devel and krb5-devel. Glad to hear it worked. Now that you have the spec file patched, you can create a new patch for others so they do not have to go through the same process. Move the patched spec file to a new name, and then install the .src.rpm again. Then from the SOURCES dir run:  diff -Naur qmail-toaster.spec modified-qmail-toaster.spec >> empF-1.3.16.patch That will give you a patch (empF-1.3.16.patch) that will apply cleanly to the new version of qmail-toaster. Post it back so others can obtain it, and update the wiki. You're now an official contributor! Jake, Please excuse my newbieness. I have created the patch file for empF as you described. I have tested my patch and it works on my system following the current wiki using my patch in step 4 versus the stated patch. What do you mean "Post it back"?  Do you mean just copy and paste the contents of the patch here in an email or something else? Also, isn't this a patch just for those wanting empF on centos4 running qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.16 (with the offending libraries). If so, do I just append my notes to the current wiki entry? I am a little hesitate since I have never done this before. I want to get this right. thanks, Dave   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!
