Hey Richard; And well they might seem o.k. for you. I was making rpms for Mandrake, which entails a different approach. 1 - /usr/local is off limits. 2 - File permissions and ownership issues may be present. 3 - Extraneous files may have to noticed and removed. 4 - ALL files must be accounted for. 5 - Various other distribution specific issues in many other areas often need to be attended to. (And these can be many.) But I definitely can say this; even with your approach, if you had tried to do a simple compile on a Mandrake 10.0 Official machine you would have run into the same problems I had. BTW I reported the fix yesterday or the day before for this, so the problem is solved; it appears to be a versioning issue with libtool/libtldl. Finally IMHO it is a really bad idea to just compile, even into /usr/local, on a system (like mandrake, debian, red hat, suse, and many other "distros") that uses a file tracking package management system. You run the risk of system instability or worse.
