Vladim, I am on a RH 6.2 system and am using Red Hat Source RPMS from ftp.esat.net. I can install qt-2.2.1 and kdesupport but CANNOT BUILD flex-2.5.4a-13 on RH 6.2 and am unable to build Kdelibs 2.0-1 because I get a failed dependency message saying >= flex-2.5.4a-13 is required for Kdelibs. I just installed the Kdelibs-2.0rc2 instead and all other (kdebase rc2 ,, etc) rc2 packages. My system seems to work fine now with konqueror etc working. Where could I get a flex-2.5.4a-13.i386 rpm for Red hat 6.2 ? Other wise how do I build this source RPM. rpm --rebuild flex-2.5.4a-13 seems to configure and compile things Ok but while installing it says: fg: no job control /var/tmp/flex-root : no such file or directory glob could not find: /var/tmp/flex-root/usr/bin glob could not find: /var/tmp/flex-root/usr/lib .......... exit 0 The binary rpm DOES NOT BUILD at all!! Any solutions so that I can actually upgrade kdelibs to the 2.0-1 version after handlind this flex thing?? Thanks for any help.
