I recommend that a) You configure rpm to put source somewhere else. /usr is not a good place to put source code. b) You never ever build packages as root. It's astonishing how many packages can cause injury to your build system. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
