Well, then, it should be hard, shouldn't it? ;-) One thing you may want to try is getting the source package from the distribution. The RPM .spec file will indicate all its build dependencies, so you can figure out what packages you need, and what patches the distro people think are needed to make it work. You can also customize the .spec file to tweak the build configuration, if that's what you're after. Then you can build your own customized RPM packages, too. RPM makes this relatively easy. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
