are you sure?

'rpm -qa | grep jpeg' on a stock RH9 box gives:

libjpeg-6b-26
libjpeg-devel-6b-26

> XFree86-libs -> (it's a deps of XFree86-devel)

Again, RH9 doesn't seem to think so.

Updated.

oops, 'elfutils-libelf' is much more sane.

Updated, most of those cover the fifth-toe/ and geektoys/ -- I figured
that Jeff had them in the original list, so i'd keep them in too.

I wasn't going to put mozilla-devel in (or mozilla-nss-devel) because
the versions you _should_ be compiling against are in bootstrap/
anyway :)

(but I will scope out the list anyway and make updates where
appropriate)
