We need to test it on a Red Hat/Fedora system before we replace the existing spec file.

BTW, there is a problem with the current spec file in that it puts all the shared object files (*.so) in the wrong place when the system is running a 64-bit version of Linux. The links need to be placed into /usr/lib64.

Hi there...

I wrote a new, more simplified SPEC file for RPM-based linuxes. It uses some more RPM best practices, and fixes a few problems I was having with it's installation under SLES/SLED.

As to why I made it, I found a few inconsistencies with the official package, namely: - the rxapid script was placed in the wrong directory for SLES/SLED and wouldn't start during boot; - I need it to install without errors under SLES (and zypper is way too demanding about how pre- and post-scripts should behave)

The only part I left out is the hard-coded /opt/ooRexx paths. I'm using the %{_prefix} macro to determine where it should be installed. I could also use some other macros to determine the init.d directory, and add/remove the rxapid service, but decided against it because some distros might not have them defined. Any thoughts on that?

BTW, is there a test suite (like a "make test") to certify that the interpreter is working as expected?

This has been tested under SLES 11 and SLES 11 SP1.

Please check it out and comment!
