Ouch, my brain hurts. ;o) This is the first time I've ever seen a package require such an oddball build method. ;o) I'll try it though. It might be better to patch the build process than to try to come up with a convoluted RPM build method to work around it. Any idea _why_ it does this? I am almost positive 451 did not require this. Looking at the configure script it appears that it is done for some internal cygnus reason.. Is there a: ./configure --Im-not-cygnus-so-dont-do-that option at all? ;o) Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a whirl. TTYL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
