Greetings - it's been a while since I poked my head in here. :) I'm actually not running WBEL anymore, but I think what I may need to do is a chroot with it in it. When I was running WBEL, I would download the source RPM for xine and xine-ui, then run "rpmbuild -ta [source]". This would build the library and the development package. I now have an AMD64 (x86_64) machine running Ubuntu. I've searched and searched, but I can't figure out how to install rpmbuild. (I know, Ubuntu uses deb packages - but I actually redistributed these RPMs for the project, since they're not included in Red Hat's distribution.) Since it's 64-bit already, I won't have to cross-compile, but I need to make an RPM. Someone made a suggestion to run alien on the deb package to turn it into an RPM - but, that seems like a hack to me, and since I redistribute them, I'd rather go with a process I know works. Any ideas? -- Daniel J.
