RE: Building RPMs with embedded Perl

Thanks Axel.  

This is much simpler than what I outlined.  Have recompiled and
re-installed once more.  Unfortunately I'm still getting the same crash,
when running snmptrapd and receiving the trap, as indicated in my other
mail of yesterday.

Hopefully someone will be able to shed more light on it.

Neil

The idea is to use --with foo, which gets translated to --define
"_with_foo --with-foo". Similar for --without foo.

E.g. simply use

rpmbuild -bb --with perl_modules --with embedded_perl *.spec

Check /usr/share/doc/rpm-*/conditionalbuilds for details.
