Thanks for this, Richard.  I haven't tried building packages before this 
week, so you should have better luck.  For this I'm using a laptop ~2007 
running sl6 with ATrpms repos and some packages from epel and remi. 
I've had Axel's myth 0.25 running on it since RC, just to see what had 
changed from 0.24 and would affect my use profile.  I don't really want 
to build routinely for myself, but in the absence of up-to-date builds 
from either ATrpms or RPM_Fusion I thought I would have a go.  Now I 
have the build components in place I can do a little more exploring.

Cheers,

John
