Someone needs to notify rpmfind and who ever they got these rpms from then: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=sawfish&submit=Search+... An extensible window manager for the X Window System. RedHat-8.0 for i386 sawfish-2.0-4.i386.rpm An extensible window manager for the X Window System. RedHat-8.0 Sources sawfish-2.0-4.src.rpm I think these are the ones I tried (contradicting my earlier statement about not having 2.0 rpms), since that's what turns out is on my RedHat 8.0 test workstation, and they blew error messages about those variables. > 2002-06-28 John Harper <jsh unfactored org> > * configure.in: version 1.1 > > The "version 2.0" below was a mistake > > * sawfish.spec.in: updated (untested) > > 2002-06-21 Federico Mena Quintero <federico ximian com> > > Released version 2.0. > > * configure.in: Bumped version number to 2.0. > And in 1.3 you have to put some config options cos the GUI lacks them. > http://www.unfactored.org/sawfish/OPTIONS Yeah, well, the 2.0 rpm's that are in circulation apparently don't like those options, hence my confusion.
