I'm not clear on how the rpm's weren't installed correctly for you.  If it's
just the "user and group not found; using root" then everything is fine.  The
rpms were just not built using the tags to assign the files to a system user
instead of a normal user (Mark needs to have a %attr(- root root) tag in front
of every file in the %file section of his spec file.) The default of root
should be fine.

If you mean the installation script failed for something and jade wouldn't
install because of that, you're going to have to be more specific :-)
