Not quite. I don't know what "the unpackaged files error" looks like. Can you try Phillip's suggestion using --root and --record and show us the results? Did you run "python setup.py build" before "python setup.py bdist_rpm"? We've often seen problems with the dependency-handling between distutils commands. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
