gnome tars

["Fox, Kevin M" <KMFox mail bhi-erc com>]

When whoever makes the tar balls, could you make sure that they have working
spec files and that they compile correctly? I just tryed to rpm -ta
gnome-libs-0.99.4.tar.gz.
first thing was that the spec file was looking for the file
gnome-libs-0.99.3.tar.gz.
the second thing is that it bombs with:

 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./gnome.soundlist
/var/tmp/gnome-libs-root/usr/etc/s
ound/events/gnome.soundlist
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./gtk-events.soundlist
/var/tmp/gnome-libs-root/usr/
etc/sound/events/gtk-events.soundlist
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /var/lib/games
chgrp games /var/lib/games && chmod g=rwXs /var/lib/games
../libgnome/gnome-gen-mimedb /var/tmp/gnome-libs-root/usr/etc/mime-magic
gnome-gen-mimedb: error in loading shared libraries

The thing is, I am using glib 1.1.13. I built the rpms. Something has glib
and other libraries hard coaded to the version number. This is bad. could
things be setup so that they just look for libglib-1.1.so? then if you
update glib everything still works.
