Take a look at using mock. You can build packages for other fedora/EPEL versions than the host system. It creates a chroot sysimage that it builds the package in. So you basically install it on whatever fedora based system you have and run mock -r fedora-5-i386-epel rebuild tigervnc-....src.rpm and if it can get all its build dependencies it will succeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
