Just downloaded gpsbabel-1.3.4-0.src.rpm from sourceforge. $rpm -ivh gives me 1:gpsbabel warning: user robertl does not exist - using root warning: group robertl does not exist - using root warning: user robertl does not exist - using root) warning: group robertl does not exist - using root I'd like to build from source. How else can I get at it please Robert? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT, XSL-FO and Docbook FAQ http://www.dpawson.co.uk |

Found it. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth. $rpm2cpio gpsbabel-1.3.4-0.src.rpm | cpio -idv ./configure make gpsbabel runs! fyi Robert. Builds from a clean install of FC7 with dev option selected. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT, XSL-FO and Docbook FAQ http://www.dpawson.co.uk |

You should have been able to then do an rpmbuild. fyi Robert. Builds from a clean install of FC7 with dev option selected. Thanx. FC7 is well exercised; it's what's on m development system. The only weirdness that I know of on FC7 (and this matters to almost nobody) is that the system libraries don't pass valgrind any more which means our 'vtesto' script, which runs our test suite through valgrind, is effectively useless. Honestly, though, I'm probably the only one that ever does that... RJL |
