<div dir="ltr">Thank you. Yes, you were correct. I 'assumed' that the spec files represented the way that the RPMs were supposed to be built by the distros, which I want to duplicate. I should have realized my mistake from the config line - ./configure --enable-experimental. What control is there over the components packaged into an RPM by the various distros? Is there much variation in their content? </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 6:22 PM, Nathanael D.

If they aren't there you get an error so that the package isn't missing files that the spec expects. If you would like more help post your specfile perhaps useful would be to know what you've changed from the specfile you took it from. -- Nathanael d.
