Yep, there was a duplication (www being packaged in 
/usr/share/refdb-0.9.7/www and in /var/www/refdb/), and i fixed some 
permissions.

BTW, i think you should not have 755 permissions for AUTHORS, ChangeLog, 
COPYING, INSTALL, NEWS, READM files. They should be 644 like the file 
UPGRADING for instance.

Yes, this is also my conclusion, the phpweb is useless as it is. I 
haven't been able to use it, even if the db was created correctly and 
refdbc worked ...

I don't have such setup on my computer (or at least not yet ;-).

Things can be a little different on those systems since the dependency 
tree is somewhat different and naming conventions may differ. Other than 
this the rpm should be installable (i need to removed some Mandriva 
specific macros in case of a general rpm).

That would require little work, but since i'm gaining experience in rpm 
building, i think i'll be able to obtain it after having polished the 
Mandriva rpm ;-)

So far i've tested only refdb + pgsql and importing from examples, i'll 
try to test other combinations.

Cheers,
