This is good, because it reached almost the end.

The problem is that the path gets into one lib, and in fact it is not needed
to be there.
What I did was replace some characters (without changing the size) to trick
rpmbuild, but your build system
uses ivtools, and not ivtools-1.2.8. What I did now is replace ivtools for
IvTools.

Of course, I used ghex2 to inspect the binary and check what is going to be
changed (only 3 or 4 occurrences).

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/ivtools-1.2.8-12.fc14.src.rpm

This new version should built in ATrpms. This package has the most
complicated configuration scheme
I have ever seen, and I hope you do  not mind using only one dirt trick,
which does not affect anything ...

Thanks.
