Is there a certain order these have to be done? There's no document for building/installing that I can find after I untar the source.make dist-rpms 'should' work. for me to help you as to why it's not you'd have to provide me with more information, logs of it failing etc. i no longer use that method to build things as i've started using a build system called mach that works really well for our needs. there's a target called dist-srpms that will build a srpm, you may have better luck with that route. the most likely cluprit is that you're missing rpm dependancies. to build rpms from src you have to first make ExtUtils-Depends/PkgConfig then install those rpms, then build Glib, install it, and finally Gtk2. this is part of what mach takes care of for you. i don't think mandrake is one of the available targets with mach at this point.
Can you provide some pointers to "mach"? I'm curious about it now, and all
my google hits keep pulling up stuff on the mach kernel.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
