Re: gnorpm link problem

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Alright, I have looked at the rpm-3.0.1 tarball.  It looks like they did a
bit of reorganising.  Unfortunately, librpm.a now depends on a function
inside the main rpm executable.  This is a bug in rpm-3.0.1.

I recommend installing rpm-devel-3.0 and using that to build gnorpm.

Hopefully this will be fixed in rpm-3.0.2.

James.
