Actually I do not think there is anything wrong that needs reporting. The spec file contained within an RPM contains the list of dependent packages for the *binary* RPM not the packages needed to compile from src. If you were to add those two '-devel' packages to the spec file then they would be necessary to install the binary RPM. I think it is expected that people building RPMs from source should know how to resolve the compiling dependencies themselves. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
