If you're building your own rpm you'll need to do it yourself - that's getting beyond what this list can help you with. > Or should we used the "contrib" rpm available in the web site No - because it's not built for your system or with your compiler, it may work but you may also run into strange bugs. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
