I downloaded http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/suse/src/metamail-2.7.19-1251.1.src.rpm and it has a very minor build stopper whichyou can quickly fix in the spec file, namely BuildRequires: ncurses-devel xorg-x11 xorg-x11-devel Well, Fedora does not install xorg-x11 in a single package, but rather multiple packages. So, I just edited the spec file and commented out the line because I know that I do have al x11 and x11-devel packages, as well as ncurses-devel package. So, # BuildRequires: ncurses-devel xorg-x11 xorg-x11-devel and you can run the build: rpmbuild -v -bb metamail.spec and the build succeeds. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
