I've not had trouble compiling anything (including the mozilla source
rpm). About the only thing different about my machine is that I used
the XFS installer from SGI. Perhaps there's something odd there.
Incidentally, I tried rerunning the rpm --rebuild command, and this time
it worked. Got a complete set of RPMS, which I then installed.
Then I tried it again with the --target=i686, and it ALSO worked this
time. Very odd. Compilation was VERY clean, no warnings, etc.
Alas, I think I've wasted bandwidth posting my comment!
