Thanks. I fixed those, they'll be available soon.

You might want to compÃare the buildlogs versus your output to find th
cause. It's hard for me to help with this limited information. Comparing 
buildlogs usually helps as you can check what eg. configure did 
differently.

You can find the buildlogs at:

Similarly, it's possible that for some reason your environment differs 
from mine and somehow that makes a difference for the build. These 
definitely are 'bugs' so if you could compare the buildlogs for these as 
well and send me your analysis, we can fix those.

Since these packages are also build by Dries, and I know Dries fixes them 
if they fail to build on his environment, something important is different 
between your and our environment, so we appreciate to find the problem and 
solve it :)

PS Since you're rebuilding most (all?) the FC1 packages you might want to 
get closer involved with the development. I'm certain some of our packages 
do not build (any longer?) on FC1 but because of lack of my time and 
little interest to solve FC1 problems they mostly go unnoticed. This is 
also true for RH7, RH9, FC1, FC2 and likely now FC3. Any help is welcome, 
even more so if you have a special interest in FC1 or other builds.
