Alrighty, well having tried all 3 methods to try get dnscache daemontools ucspi all going on fedora, ie via the .i386.rpms / .src.rpms and via tarballs and patching them manually. Not one of those ways proves a positive result with trying to get dnscache to run. The supervise script/directory are not created and hence dnscache cannot start. Does anyone have any idea's as to the cause of this ? Im assuming someone here has successfully gotten these packages working with fedora. Than again it could be something ever so simple that I'm overlooking, however it is just a case of 4 patches to be applied and then compiling the 3 appropriate packages mentioned above.
