| If the file above is the same, and you're still wanting an RPM for
| chmlib-0.35, I've made one by creating a spec file and using rpmbuild.

|
| <URL:http://www.my-ste.demon.co.uk/downloads/linux/chmlib/index.htm>
|
| There are only two very minor changes between the one from the Debian
| repository:
|
| 1, I renamed the file to chmlib-0.35.tar.gz;
| 2, I included the spec file in the archive.
|
| Other than the above, the source archive is the same as those available

Thanks... Even though I got it to compile, I wanted an RPM to keep the
database up to date. As I found on another program, I think I will do a
make install then run checkinstall, as that seems to work....

Thanks
