I have no problem extracting the tarball, patches, etc from the source rpm, I was looking for the original source (the project site) - I was thinking that perhaps the rpm makers might have altered the source slightly. As it looks now, I will either have to use the tarball from the source rpm, or just drop libtermcap in favor of curses (might necessitate code changes). -- The day is short, and the work is great, | Aharon Schkolnik and the laborers are lazy, and the reward | is great, and the Master of the house is | [EMAIL PROTECTED] impatient. - Ethics Of The Fathers Ch. 2 | 054 3344135 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
