Problem building rpms for Net-SNMP 5.4

Hi,

I've been trying to build the rpms for net-snmp 5.4 on a rh8 system.
net-snmp compiles and links fine (so I have all the prerequisites installed)
I have > 200 systems out there in the wild that will need updating, and 
of course
they have no compilers, so I always make binary rpms for them.

After being sure that all compiles correctly, I run the net-snmp.spec file
from the dist directory:

rpmbuild -ba ./dist/net-snmp.spec

very close to the end, we get:

Processing files: net-snmp-perlmods-5.4-1
error: File not found by glob: /tmp/net-snmp-root/usr/share/man/man3/*::*
error: File not found by glob: /tmp/net-snmp-root/usr/share/man/man3/SNMP*

Now, it happens that these man pages are in /tmp/net-snmp-root/usr/man/man3
(note the missing /share) although net-snmp's own man pages are in the 
/share directory.


Perl on rh8 is 5.8.0, and we have many additional perl modules 
installed. I always
make rpms of them (using cpan2rpm) to distribute them.

I had to comment out the PreReqs in the spec file, because although 
beecrypt-devel
and elfutils-devel are installed, rpm wouldn't recognize them. If I 
comment out the lines that
refer to the "missing" man pages, the rpms build fine, but complain:

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /tmp/net-snmp-root
warning: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/man/man3/NetSNMP::ASN.3pm.gz
   /usr/man/man3/NetSNMP::OID.3pm.gz
   /usr/man/man3/NetSNMP::TrapReceiver.3pm.gz
   /usr/man/man3/NetSNMP::agent.3pm.gz
   /usr/man/man3/NetSNMP::agent::default_store.3pm.gz
   /usr/man/man3/NetSNMP::default_store.3pm.gz
   /usr/man/man3/NetSNMP::netsnmp_request_infoPtr.3pm.gz
   /usr/man/man3/SNMP.3.gz

so I'm missing the man pages in the rpms.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this? I've seen other people
on this list say they just build net-snmp form source and made the rpms.
Sounds like it should work. Won't work for me.

Thanks very much for any help you may provide.

Mike
