> Erm. My mistake - I was being a dumb ass (didn't notice it was an > src.rpm).... OK, Here is where I have got. (I am somewhat new at this rpm building game, so please bear with me)... I built the rpms from the src.rpms by 1. rpm -ivh /data/download/dbus-qt-0.61-0.1.src.rpm 2. fedora-buildrpmtree 3. rpmbuild -bb --target=$(arch) ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/dbus-qt-fc5.spec ( for those interested, the full log file for the rpm build is here http://www.hep.phy.cam.ac.uk/~jonesc/log.txt - maybe someone can spot some problem...) then, as root 4. cd /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/ 5. rpm -ivh dbus-qt-0.61-0.1.i686.rpm dbus-qt-devel-0.61-0.1.i686.rpm This seemed to work OK. However, if I try then to build knetworkmamanger I still get during ./configure . . . checking for D-BUS... checking for dbus-1 >= 0.33, hal, libnm-util... yes checking dbus/connection.h usability... no checking dbus/connection.h presence... no checking for dbus/connection.h... no configure: WARNING: You need D-BUS/Qt3 bindings checking for main in -lsynaptics... no checking for libgcrypt-config... /usr/bin/libgcrypt-config checking for LIBGCRYPT - version >= 1.1.98... yes checking LIBGCRYPT API version... okay checking for X11/XKBlib.h... yes checking if knetworkmanager should be compiled... no . . . So if seems D-BUS/Qt3 is still not found. If I > jonesc@localhost ~/rpmbuild/SPECS > locate dbus/connection.h > /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/connection.h so it is there (and wasn't before installing the rpms). If I then try > ./configure --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/dbus-1.0 I get the same error... OK, so I am sure I am doing something wrong, but as a newbie to this rpm building game, I am not sure what. Any pointers gratefully received. Chris
