Unlike the Debian package, the FreeBSD port *does* install the rpmbuild binary. If building from the source port fail, you can use the binary package (for instance "portinstall archivers/rpm5"): ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/archivers/rpm-5.2.1.tbz > Perhaps I'll setup another VM and give the FreeBSD port another try... It should build using "devtool" too, just that it has likely bit-rotted a bit since (even if HEAD was dusted off, earlier) And the "standalone" version isn't operational anymore either, so you will need to install some pre-requisite ports first... --anders ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
