Mostly I wanted to get an RPM from this thing.  :)  I'm using this as
sort of a learning too on build RPMs.  Actually, I'm running RH6.1, with
RPM-3.0.3 and RPM-devel-3.0.3, so that's not going to fix it.  :(  Any
other things I should try, or should I try this from a src.rpm?

Sounds cool, I hope you're having fun.  I don't actually USE gnorpm, I'm
a command line guy, except for email.  I was just looking to have it
run, and then make it available for other people to use.  Thanks,
