Again, you need ORBit-devel RPM

Well, all releases up-to-date are development versions, but the app is more
or less usable, at least for me (I've got a big database of stupid data that
I've been creating during gnome-db tests, and I manage it, with some
problems, but I can create, drop, insert, delete...). But, as it is a
development version (only source code, no RPMS), you will need lots of
*-devel.rpm files. If somebody knows how to create RPMs from gnome-db
sources, please feel free to do it. We can provide a RPM package even for a
development version, or not?
