Funny you mentioned that. I downloaded the source tarball from rpm.org, expecting it to unpack nicely into a folder called "rpm" or something. Instead, it spread itself out over several directories and never left me with a configure file, a read me or anything like the standard bunch of compilation tools that one typically gets with source. Took me a half hour to clean out the mess. I can't imagine what I did wrong but I didn't want to press that button twice. -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd rather be sailing" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
