Maybe one problem is that you need to initialize your rpm DB, with "rpm --initdb". The other problem is that the DB will be empty... so the required dependencies can't be resolved... I dunno how to fix this, apart adding a --nodeps to the rpmbuild command... but I'm sure there's a cleaner way to resolve. -Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
