[hpoj-devel] RPM.README

[Erick C. <e...@ar...>]

Hei everyone,  I sent this message to Tim but for the sake of the archives,
thought, I'd post it here as well.

I read the document at:

	http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/RPM.README

and would like to offer that others are likely to need the information below
as I did.

I'm running RH 7.0 and found that for the instructions to work I needed to
install the following packages:

rpm-build	# otherwise the --rebuild option in rpm doesn't work
patch		# or else the rebuild fails
gcc
 - gblic-devel
    - kernel-headers # which in RH 7 are still a mystery to me... I'm
running on kernel 2.2.19-7.0.1 but had to install the 2.2.19-6.2.1 headers
as apparently an updated package for my version doesn't exist)
  -gcc-c++
  - libstdc++
  - libstdc++-devel

perhaps this info could be added to the RPM.README document so as to save
others a few hours of usenet searches
