Weeeellll, that's a good thing to do anyway, but I'm doubtful that you got to the bottom of the real problem. Incidentally, wearing my "maintainer of xforms" hat, can I ask if you built the XForms-1.0.90 rpm and installed that? I've only ever tried building rpms for a Fedora machine and would be interested to see whether all works as expected on Mandrake. If you're willing to try, then here's the prescription that I posted to the xforms list describing how to build the rpms (as non-root) by: 1. creating a file .rpmmacros: $ cat ~/.rpmmacros %_topdir /home/angus/rpm 2. generating the necessary subdirectories of ~/rpm $ mkdir ~/rpm $ cd ~/rpm $ mkdir -p RPMS/i386 RPMS/noarch SRPMS SOURCES BUILD SPECS Thereafter I can build the rpms as non-root with $ cd ~/xforms/cvs/build $ make rpmdist The rpms are generated as expected: $ cd ~/rpm/RPMS/i386/ $ ls xforms-1.0.90-1.i386.rpm xforms-devel-1.0.90-1.i386.rpm xforms-debuginfo-1.0.90-1.i386.rpm Don't worry about the debuginfo rpm, but the other two can be installed in the /usr/local tree (as they're not official Mandrake versions) with your equivalent of $ su $ rpm -Uvh --prefix /usr/local \ /home/angus/rpm/RPMS/i386/xforms-1.0.90-1.i386.rpm If you'd try this out, I'd be very grateful.
