RE: gnome and db problems

["Raj Wurttemberg" <raj starbase-01 com>]

Thanks Jens.  Actually I was trying to find a way *not* to have to edit the
spec file. :(

One more thing, when I make the new RPM, is there a way to make it
{filename}.i686.rpm instead of {filename}.i386.rpm?  or does it matter??

Thanks,
/*Raj*/

I think you must edit the spec file within the tarball. There are
somewhere the following lines:

if [ ! -f configure ]; then
   CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" ./autogen.sh
$MYARCH_FLAGS --prefix=%prefix --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=%{sysco
nfdir}
else
   CFLAGS="$MYCFLAGS" ./configure
MYARCH_FLAGS --prefix=%prefix  --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=%{sysco
nfdir}
fi

Just append --enable-prefer-db1 to the ./configure line. After this you
can type 'make dist' in the top source directory and a new tarball with
the new spec file will be created. Hope this helps.
