The RPM builds & installs just fine. Its really just a cosmetic thing, and i found it quite odd. Mostly just an FYI. Susan Macchia wrote: > Ah crap, that s*ks. Can you take the tarfile and build it manually? A pain, > but it may work, meanwhile you can let RH know how much they blew it... >

Ah crap, that s*ks. Can you take the tarfile and build it manually? A pain, but it may work, meanwhile you can let RH know how much they blew it... Of course it may be that they relied on a 3rd party to create the rpm and they just included it in their distro (they still should have tested it t

Lonni, I've been writing a lot of k-shell scripts lately; to execute and assign the value of an external "program", you would say, for example: foo=$(cat foobar) Which is why I am replying... the LIST=$(... looks like this - could be some kind of syntax error somewhere or something. Just t

I'm in the process of rebuilding the RH-7.3 SRPMs, and then installing them. I'm starting to see some very very weird stuff, for failed dependencies: CXXFLAGS is needed by libsigc++-devel-1.0.3-5 LIST=$(shell is needed by libsigc++-devel-1.0.3-5 No, neither is a typo , that's exactly how
