Hi Justin, just a question: "RPM for which compiler?" ROOT is shipped with binaries for ~10 different compilers (in sense gcc 3.2.2 is different from gcc 3.2). So, to be consistent that will require ~10 different ROOT RPMs Regards. Valeriy ++ ROOT build from the source options include "make rpm". Try this one. > I was aiming today to set up root on my box from rpms, meaning I wanted to > add a small CVS update script to cron's list of duties which would update > the source tree and from that precipitate the corresponding binary rpm's > and rpm -U them into the system filesystem tree, seeing that it is wise to > defer such housekeeping to adept rpm, but during the first rpmbuild rpm > found some dependency error.
