Greg, do you know checkinstall? If it doesn't come with FC3, do a little google. Once installed, you can run "checkinstall" instead of "make install" (if you want to build a rpm-package, run "checkinstall -R"). Checkinstall will create an rpm you can copy to your 2 other machines. Hope that helps Christoph
