What versions of libgpod and gtkpod do you have? The libgpod and gtkpod packages for current fedora releases will probably rebuild fine for Fedora 7 (though you're really on your own running an EOL release). Though with the 8gig video nanos I think cover flow isn't working using the libgpod-0.6.0 package that's in F-9 and F-10. You might have better luck rebuilding the libgpod-0.7.0 packages from rawhide¹. Basically, if you install things the way the current Fedora packages do, then things should "Just Work." If they don't, you can do things manually by following the steps in README.SysInfo in the libgpod tarball or package. ¹ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/libgpod-0.7.0-2.fc11.src.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/gtkpod-0.99.14-2.fc11.src.rpm -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake - which I also keep handy. -- W.
