This particular situation is one which is not exactly quite on topic, as I am using FC2 and want to install HPLIP. There already is an RPM for FC4. But the same situation probably arises with other packages which are available as source. So, my question is... How do I create an RPM for HPLIP for use with FC2? I think this is a better way than just # ./configure # make # make install I've used this for a few packages, but I'd prefer to use RPMs where possible. Anyone care to elaborate? Also, in this particular case, the FC4 RPM might just work, anyway. But I think the information on how to install as RPMs is applicable to most foreign packages and most/all versions of FC.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
