But updating rpm scares me almost as much as upgrading glibc > -mess either one up, and you've pretty much hosed your system. :-( Mandrake 8.0 and 8.1 use rpm 4. 7.2 used rpm 3 If you want to build for 7.2 you will need to build from tar.gz you will not be able to do it from the src.rpm. Trying to update 7.2 to rpm 4 can be a 'total nightmare'. It must be done in increments and may cause all sorts of problems. This is the main reason that when 8.0 was released that it was recommended that it be done as a clean install not as an upgrade. Charles
