Ah! I didn't notice you said "RPM install"! Yes, the RPMs are broken -
they're very old (Oct. 2000). You need to build from CVS if you want
all that to work - in Nov. and Dec. I fixed lots of bugs in the POSIX
stuff.  (Clint: why don't we kill the RPMs from that download page?)

I can provide binaries for Mandrake 8.1, Debian 2.2, OpenBSD 2.9 and
FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE - those are the systems I have. But no Mandrake 7.
I can send you a binary tarball from either of my Linux systems if you
want to try them out.

Question for the group: are we even going to make RPMs? I didn't find
a spec file anywhere in CVS; the only thing I have is the original
spec file I wrote in '98. I have come to the realisation that RPM is a
steaming pile of crap and don't want anything to do with maintaining
that spec file (at some point I'll try to find time for a *BSD port --
ports and packages are so much nicer since dependencies can be
installed automatically -- I'm hoping the Linux distributions will
start moving that way). Any volunteers?
