Are you sure that is used? As a test, I did a fresh install of CentOS 5 i386, installed epel-release and rpmforge-release from <http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm> and <http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm> Then did: yum groupinstall development-tools development-libs x-software-development gnome-software-development yum install gcc44 gcc44-c++ python26 yasm-devel Unpacked the firefox 18.0.1 source code, created the mozconfig file and ran 'make -f client.mk' And it built fine ...
