Well, I used checkinstall to build the RPM when I compiled it myself. So, I have the package, it should install on any Mandrake 9.1 system without any problems since all the packages are compiled into the RPM. However, I did not sign the package with a GPG key, you would have to get mine from me anyway. I will put the RPM on my ftp server and send you a userid and password in private email, if anyone else wants it, they will have to contact me and let me know so I can give them an id as well. Just to be sure, I will put an md5 sum for the package along with the RPM, you can download both and then check it yourself. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
