Actually I recently upgraded my redhat 7.1 to rh7.2 by using the apt-rpm
utility I found at http://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org, which is just apt-get
ported to redhat and seems to work superbly with no problems.

My rpm -qa | grep rpm reveals....

rpm-4.0.3-1.03
rpmdb-redhat-7.2-0.20010924
rpm-build-4.0.3-1.03
rpm-devel-4.0.3-1.03

However, I've played about with editing rpm/Makefile.in and found that
if I change --target=noarch-fvwm-linux to --target noarch-fvwm-linux and
remove the = character I get a new error....

Building target platforms: tmp-fvwm-themes.spec
Building for target tmp-fvwm-themes.spec
error: failed to stat /home/awol/cvs/fvwm-themes/rpm/noarch-fvwm-linux:
No such file or directory
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/awol/cvs/fvwm-themes/rpm'

Does this help diagnose the problem better?
