Hi, The only thing I can say is that the source RPM build fine on a untouched RedHat 8.0 installation. I can't make sure it will build on a system where many packages have been installed from other places than the distribution RPMs.
It's as easy as this: - Install RedHat 8.0. - Rebuild the source RPM. Simon > > I am currently running Cyrus 2.1.9 under Redhat 8 using Simons source RPM.
