Yes, README.rhel3 is out of date. It referes to scripts that are no longer there. It was usefull to me when doing a build on rh3 though, because the other READMEs didn't mention make 3.8 which I had to upgrade to. README-dist should probably mention make 3.8 perhaps in a "How to Build on RH3 " section.
The other thing wrong with the build instructions is that README-dist is not included in the source distribution and README-dev is. In fact, you need to read both in order to do a build and figure out how the instructions in both these files need to be merged together. Might be better just to have a single set of instructions in one file, with an optional section at the begining decribing steps to be taken to build from a checkout and then common steps to build from a source distribution. If this sounds like a good idea, I volunteer to submit a patch for it while it is still fresh in my mind. Rupert On 2/6/07, Alan Conway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

There hasn't been any attempt to identify the earliest versions that qpid can work with, so the versions mentioned in the READMEs are usually just whatever was on the persons machine at the time they wrote the README. It may well be the case that older versions work (definitely is for some libs.) I didn't do the rhel3 README so I don't know if there's a particular reason it mentions a higher version, but choosing the higher version in case of doubt is a good plan. Cheers, Alan.
