You can use the 2.4.2 rpm's which are available from bacula-downloads which shouldn't be much of an effort at all. I built the rpm's from Fedora 2.4.3-1 source and used this... rpmbuild -bb \ --define 'build_centos5 1' \ --define 'build_mysql5 1' \ --define 'build_wxconsole 1' \ --define 'build_gconsole 1' \ --define 'build_bat 1' \ bacula.spec Craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
