I changed to my gmail address. I wasn't getting the individual messages at the previous address. That being said, so far, I haven't gotten any individual messages at this address yet, either. Only the digests. Please forgive me if the quoting gets confusing, I'm going to copy/paste as best I can. :) Hopefully the individual messages will start arriving soon so I can reply to them properly. --copy---> > rpm -ivh --define '_topdir /home/rpmbuild/rpm' php-4.3.9-3.src.rpm Create a file ~rpmbuild/.rpmmacros with the following line: %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpm You can then leave off the --define '_topdir /home/rpmbuild/rpm' when building RPMs. <----- Thanks for the tip. Created the file. --copy---> > --with-sybase=/opt/sybase Missing \ at the end of the line. <----- Heh..crud. Fixed. --copy--> Do you have the curl-devel package installed? <----- Yes. curl-devel-7.12.1-1. Unfortunately, the error remains. Thanks a lot for the quick replies! Chris
