OK, I have the cvs but am unable to build it for my rpm system and I need to maintain rpm's (not savey enough to just use make/... and maintain the rest of my system).
What you want is checkinstall: http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ You do the standard: $ ./configure $ make Then, instead of the normal 'make install', your run: $ sudo checkinstall make install Checkinstall will take and monitor the install process, then create a .rpm (or .deb or Slackware .tgz) package that you can then manage with your favorite package management tool. It's much quicker and easier when you are testing and developing. -Roberto ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
