I just built the xfig rpm from the .src.rpm on cooker.
Compilation and installation went fine.

To tickle the bug:
After firing it up, go to `help' and bink
on Xfig Reference (HTML)

You should get an error dialog box
that says

  /usr/share/doc/xfig/html/index.html is not installed, please install package xfig-doc

##### Problem 1 ######

Problem is, there is no xfig-doc either in the SRPMS or RPMS for cooker.
And none gets built.  Ok, minor error (but confusing to a newbie).

##### Problem 2 ######

rpm -ql xfig | fgrep index.html

returns:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xfig/html/index.html
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xfig/html/japanese/index.html

So a patch or a configuration option needs to be put
in  xfig.spec  to tell xfig where the (very excellent!!) HTML
documentation is.  This is one of the best documented tools
in Linuxdom and it would be a shame for the newbie looking
for a great 2D figure-drawing tool to miss it.
