thanks folks but i do not have a leg to stand on here i am coming from freebsd where make install clean is about all i guy needs to install software. I downloaded what i think you are talking about the src rmp bacula-1.38.5 have know idea how to rebuild rpms and do not even seem to have rpmbuild on my system. tried a good old configure but got this [root@shoemasters bacula-1.38.5]# ls ABOUT-NLS configure kernstodo nb-1.37 projects scripts autoconf COPYING kes-1.38 patches README src ChangeLog examples LICENSE platforms README.AIX updatedb CheckList INSTALL Makefile.in po ReleaseNotes VERIFYING [root@shoemasters bacula-1.38.5]# ./configure checking for true... /bin/true checking for false... /bin/false configuring for bacula 1.38.5 (18 January 2006) checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... no checking for aCC... no checking for CC... no checking for cxx... no checking for cc++... no checking for cl... no checking for FCC... no checking for KCC... no checking for RCC... no checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether g++ accepts -g... no checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for egrep... grep -E checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no checking for g++... g++ configure: error: Unable to find C++ compiler Please help ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig White <craigwhite@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 7:52:42 AM GMT-0700 Subject: Re: bacula server On Sat, 2006-03-11 at 10:44 +0000, Paul Howarth wrote: > On Fri, 2006-03-10 at 18:51 -0700, Craig White wrote: > > # 1 - why a mandrake package? > > > > # 2 - get the source rpm from bacula and rebuild it > > > > # 3 - before rebuilding, you will undoubtedly need, mysqlclient10, > > mysql-devel mysql-server perhaps openssl-devel > > > > # 4 - build command is going to look something like this... > > > > $ rpmbuild -bb --define 'fc3 1' --define 'build_mysql 1' \ > > --define 'build_mysql4 1' bacula.spec > > > > (after installing src rpm and cd to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS) > > Packaging bacula for Extras is on my to-do list.

I was trying to recount the steps for compiling the source rpm for the OP as he clearly was trying to find a ready binary rpm to install and found the mandrake rpm and that didn't seem to be the proper path. Of course if you haven't built any rpm's from source rpms, the process appears to be rather daunting and I thought my brief counting of the steps would be helpful.
