WHAT? I'm sorry, but this is simply patently false. "Red Hat RPMs" default to /usr/bin, but "RPM" does NOT default to ANY installation path. None. You have to run ./configure in your spec file with your own options. You have to list your files based on where you put them. And even after you do all *that*, you can still relocate the package somewhere else in many cases. --Donnie -- Donnie Barnes http://www.donniebarnes.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Bah." Challenge Diversity.
